 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 17 “Like Palm and Cedar ” - Psalms 92:12 These trees are not trained and pruned by man: palms and cedars are "trees of the LORD," and it is by His care that they flourish. Even so it is with the saints of the LORD: they are His own care. These trees are evergreen and are beautiful objects at all seasons of the year. Believers are not sometimes holy and sometimes ungodly: they stand in the beauty of the LORD under all weathers. Everywhere these trees are noteworthy: no one can gaze upon a landscape in which there are either palms or cedars without his attention being fixed upon these royal growths. The followers of Jesus are the observed of all observers: like a city set on a hill, they cannot be hid. The child of God flourishes like a palm tree, which pushes all its strength upward in one erect column without a single branch. It is a pillar with a glorious capital. It has no growth to the right...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 17 Tozer in the Morning From Spiritual Infancy to Maturity Surely we need a baptism of clear seeing if we are to escape the fate of Israel (and of every other religious body in history that forsook God). If not the greatest need, then surely one of the greatest is for the appearance of Christian leaders with prophetic vision. We desperately need seers who can see through the mist. Unless they come soon, it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come, we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy. But the cross is always the harbinger of the resurrection. Mere evangelism is not our present need. Evangelism does no more than extend religion, of whatever kind it may be. It gains acceptance for religion among larger numbers of people without giving much thought to the quality of that religion. The tragedy is that present-day evangelism accepts the degenerate form of Christianity no...

 Worthy Brief - September 17, 2026 Do not despise the day of small things! Matthew 13:31-32 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, 32 which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."  Following a parable in which an enemy sows tares and the field that won't be sorted until the harvest, Yeshua (Jesus) tells one that takes only two verses. It's a parable about size. The Kingdom, He says, starts out looking like almost nothing. A mustard seed. In Israel, that was a proverb. The rabbis would use the phrase 'like a grain of mustard' just as we say 'the size of a pinhead'. When the Mishnah wished to describe the smallest possible amount of something, it used the mustard seed, chardal (חַרְדָּל). All those present understood precisely what Ye...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 17th September 2027 September 17 Job 9:2-4 2"Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be righteous before God? 3Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand. 4His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? Job's friends came to comfort him and sat silent for seven days. What can you say to a friend who has endured such loss? Then Job spoke of his misery. He wished he had been stillborn. He considered his pain greater than the joys he experienced in life. Good people may experience situations in which they despair of life itself. Then his friends made an all too common mistake. They tried to counsel him in his grief. One insisted that he must have sinned. Job replied that he was not aware of any specific sin, and if he did not intend to sin, wouldn't God find mercy to forgive. The other friend insisted no one is perfect before God. Our verse t...
