Daily Encounter: Obedience and Action for Wednesday, September 16, 2026

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: September 16th Morning “Charity suffereth long and is kind.” Luke 9:51-62 Luke 9:51 He looked beyond his death to his ascension, and for the joy that was set before him he was resolute to go through with the appointed suffering. Oh that we were equally steadfast to perform all the will of the Lord! Luke 9:52 , Luke 9:53 They were prejudiced against the Jewish worship. The Samaritans often attacked Galileans who passed through their country to go up to the feasts at Jerusalem. Luke 9:54 They thought it holy indignation, and so perhaps it was, but that is not to be paramount under the gospel. Love reigns in Christ’s kingdom. Luke 9:55-58 He hoped to share the glories of the great prophet and the honours of the Messiah. Jesus honestly told him that he would have not only to fare hard but to lie hard, and this did not suit the new professor. He had chosen Christ in ignorance, but Christ had not chosen him, and therefore ...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 16 Tozer in the Morning The Necessity of the Spirit's Illumination I said that the causes of religious confusion were four, and I named misunderstanding of the nature of truth as one of them. The others are lack of love, unbelief and nonobedience. "Wisdom is a loving spirit," says the Wisdom of Solomon. "He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way" (Psalms 25:9), says David, the father of Solomon, and these set forth a truth which the whole Bible joins to celebrate; namely, that love and wisdom are forever joined and that soundness of moral judgment is for the meek alone. The humble, loving heart intuits truth as the Scriptures reveal it and the Holy Spirit illuminates it. The Spirit will not enlighten an unloving mind; and without His enlightenment the mysteries of Christian truth must forever remain a stranger to us. To the loving mind God gives the power of immediate apprehension...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 16 “Reward Is Certain ” - Matthew 10:42 Well, I can do as much as that. I can do a kind act toward the LORD’s servant. The LORD knows l love them all and would count it an honor to wash their feet. For the sake of their Master, I love the disciples. How gracious of the LORD to mention so insignificant an action -- "to give to drink a cup of cold water only"! This I can do, however poor: this I may do, however lowly: this I will do right cheerfully. This, which seems so little, the LORD notices -- notices when done to the least of His followers. Evidently it is not the cost, nor the skill, nor the quantity, that He looks at, but the motive: that which we do to a disciple, because he is a disciple, his LORD observes and recompenses. He does not reward us for the merit of what we do but according to His riches of His grace. I give a cup of cold water, and He makes me to drink of living water. I gi...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for September 16 “I will never leave Thee nor forsake Thee” (Hebrews 13:5) It is most cheering thus to know that although we err and bring upon ourselves many troubles that might have been easily averted, yet God does not forsake even His mistaken child, but on his humble repentance and supplication is ever really both to pardon and deliver. Let us not give up our faith because we have perhaps stepped out of the path in which He would have led us. The Israelites did not follow when He called them into the Land of Promise, yet God did not desert them; but during the forty years of their wandering He walked by their side bearing their backsliding with patient compassion, and waiting to be gracious unto them when another generation should have come. “In all their afflictions He was afflicted, but the Angel of His presence saved them; He bare them and carried them all the days of old.” And so yet, while our wanderings bring us many sorrows and lose u...

 Worthy Brief - September 16, 2026 At your word, I will let down the net! Luke 5:4–6 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5 But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." 6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. Over the past few days, we have looked at the different kinds of soil and the different kinds of hearts they produce. Now this miracle takes us one step further. The parable of the Sower asks, “What kind of soil is my heart?” But the great catch of fish asks, “What will I do with the Word I have received?” Fruitfulness begins there. Even seed planted in good soil must still grow, and a Word that is truly heard must still be obeyed. Luke describes the scene in detail. Simon Peter was washing his nets after a long, unsuccessful night. He was...
