 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 18th Morning “Oppress not the poor.” 2 Kings 23:34-37 We now find another of Josiah’s sons upon the throne, but he was no better than his brother. Alas, poor Judah! Ezekiel 14:5-9 Ezekiel has described his character and reign in a parable. Jehoahaz was the first lion cub which had been destroyed, and then the nation found another in Jehoiakim. Ezekiel 14:6 Jehoiakim was evidently a plunderer of the poor nations around him, a common freebooter, living by the sword. 2 Kings 24:1-4 2 Kings 24:1 No doubt tempted by the promises of the Egyptian king. Judah lay between the territories of the two great rivals, and both were anxious to secure it as a border country. 2 Kings 24:2-4 Jehoiakim and his people endorsed the sin of Manasseh, and the accumulated wrath of God fell upon them. Jeremiah 22:13-19 This king was a great oppressor, and built a palace for himself by the unpaid toil of his subjects, making it sumptuous w...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 18 Tozer in the Morning FAITHFUL STEWARDSHIP God has been pleased to deal with us in a most remarkable way concerning our Christian stewardship and responsibility of honoring Him with the things He has entrusted to us. The Bible teaching is plain: you have the right to keep what you have all to yourself-but it will then rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you! This may hurt some of you but I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have! He does not need a dime of your money! What you need to understand is that it is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as this. There is a beautiful and enriching principle involved in our offering to God what we are and what we have, but none of us are giving because there is a depression in heaven! A long time ago God said: "If I had need of anything, would I tell you?" Brethren, if the living God had need of anything, He would no longer be God! Tozer i...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 18 “Wilderness Communion ”  - Hosea 2:14 The goodness of God sees us allured by sin, and it resolves to try upon us the more powerful allurements of love. Do we not remember when the Lover of our souls first cast a spell upon us and charmed us away from the fascinations of the world! He will do this again and again whenever He sees us likely to be ensnared by evil.  He promises to draw us apart, for there He can best deal with us, and this separated place is not to be a paradise, but a wilderness, since in such a place there will be nothing to take of our attention from our God. In the deserts of affliction the presence of the LORD becomes everything to us, and we prize His company beyond any value which we set upon it when we sat under our own vine and fig tree in the society of our fellows. Solitude and affliction bring more to themselves and to their heavenly Father than any other means.  When thus allure...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 18 “Ye are complete in Him” (Colossians 2:10) In Him we are now complete. The perfect pattern of the life of holy service for which He has redeemed and called us, is now in Him in heaven, even as the architect’s model is planned and prepared and completed in his office. But now it must be wrought into us and transferred to our earthly life, and this is the Holy Spirit’s work. He takes the gifts and graces of Christ and brings them into our life, as we need and receive them day by day, just as the sections of the vessel are reproduced in the distant Continent, and thus we receive of His fulness, even grace for grace, His grace for our grace, His supply for our need, His strength for our strength, His body for our body, His Spirit for our spirit, and He just “made unto us of God wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.” But it is much more than mere abstract help and grace, much more even than the Holy Spirit bringing us stren...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 18th July 2026 July 18 1 Chronicles 5:1 (NIV)The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (he was the firstborn, but when he defiled his father's marriage bed, his rights as firstborn were given to the sons of Joseph son of Israel; so he could not be listed in the genealogical record in accordance with his birthright, ... In Israel, the firstborn had a double the inheritance of the other heirs. They also had the responsibilities to lead the clan and provide for the women without husbands. They represented the clan and made decisions as head. Reuben was born into this position, but yielding to temptation caused him to lose it. It was a passing momentary pleasure but one large spot on the life of an otherwise faithful son. He was the one who wanted to spare Joseph. There are times when we face difficult temptations and wonder if there is some way we can indulge without having to pay a price. Sin always takes you further than you want to go and costs you...
