Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 12th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 12th Morning “Come, Lord Jesus.” Isaiah 60 We will now read Isaiah’s prophecy of the glory of the church in the latter days through the ingathering of the Gentiles. There is neither space for comment, nor need of it. Hasten, Lord! the promised hour; Come in glory and in power; Still thy foes are unsubdued; Nature sighs to be renew’d. Time has nearly reach’d its sum, All things with thy bride say “Come;” Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign for evermore! Evening “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord.” Isaiah 61 Isaiah 61:3 The opening words of this chapter were quoted by our Lord Jesus as his credentials, when he stood up to read in the synagogue of Nazareth. The description which is here given is applicable to none but Jesus, and in him every word is verified. Note also how the whole Trinity unite in the work of grace. Jehovah the Father the Lord God, anoints his Son to his glad office; the Spirit rests u...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 12

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 12 “Whom, When, How to Deliver ”  - 2 Peter 2:9 The godly are tempted and tried. That is not true faith which is never put to the test. But the godly are delivered out of their trials, and that not by chance, nor by secondary agencies, but by the LORD Himself. He personally undertakes the office of delivering those who trust Him. God loves the godly or godlike, and He makes a point of knowing where they are and how they fare.  Sometimes their way seems to be a labyrinth, and they cannot imagine how they are to escape from threatening danger. What they do not know, their LORD knows. He knows whom to deliver, and when to deliver, and how to deliver. He delivers in the way which is most beneficial to the godly, most crushing to the tempter, and most glorifying to Himself. We may leave the "how" with the LORD and be content to rejoice in the fact that He will, in some way or other, bring His own people ...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 12

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 12 Tozer in the Morning Pressing toward the Goal Ahead We are not called to fellowship with nonexistence. We are called to things that exist in truth, to positive things, and it is as we become occupied with these that health comes to the soul. Spiritual life cannot feed on negatives. The man who is constantly reciting the evils of his unconverted days is looking in the wrong direction. He is like a man trying to run a race while looking back over his shoulder. What the Christian used to be is altogether the least important thing about him. What he is yet to be is all that should concern him. He may occasionally, as Paul sometimes did, remember to his own shame the life he once lived; but that should be only a quick glance; it is never to be a fixed gaze. Our long permanent look is on God and the glory that shall be revealed. What we are saved from and what we are saved to bear the same relation to each other as a serious ill...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 12

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 12 “When ye pray, believe that ye receive” (Mark 11:24) Consecration is entered by an act of faith. You are to take the gift from God, believe you have, and confess that you have it. Step out on it firmly, and let the devil know you have it as well s the Lord. When once you say to Him boldly, “I am Thine,” He answers back from the heavenly heights, “Thou art Mine,” and the echoes go ringing down through all your life, “Mine! Thine!” If you dare confess Christ as your Saviour and Sanctifier He has bound Himself to make it a reality, but you must stand behind His mighty Word. It is the essence of testimony to tell of what Jesus has promised to become to you. It is right to have glorious words of thanksgiving, but these are not exactly testimony. God would have us put our seal on the promises, and lift up our hands and acknowledge them as ours. Then you are to ignore the old life and reckon it no longer yours if it should come up again. Eve...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 12th July 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 12th July 2026 July 12 2 Kings 19:1-2 1 When King Hezekiah heard this, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and went into the temple of the LORD. 2He sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz. The Assyrian captain came to Jerusalem and shouted his propaganda to all the people. He said that the gods of other nations had not been able to deliver them and neither would Jehovah deliver Jerusalem. When the officials brought the news to Hezekiah, he tore his clothes (a sign of anguish). He put on sackcloth (the rough garment was a sign of self- humiliation). Then he went to the temple of the LORD. In our last devotional we read that Hezekiah was a man who trusted in the LORD. When trouble comes you will turn to the place you really trust, regardless of what you profess. Though Hezekiah was a righteous king, the LORD had allowed the defeat of many of the...
