 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: September 21st Morning “The world is crucified unto Me, and I unto the world.” Luke 14:25-35 Luke 14:26 Jesus did not wish to win disciples by mistake. He would not have men follow him without knowing the terms upon which he would receive them as disciples. He therefore told them plainly that he must be everything or nothing; he claims the first place in the heart; even parents and children must be second Jo him. He must be so paramount that for his sake all other dear ones would be abandoned, if need be, and life itself would be relinquished for love of him. Less love to Jesus than this is no love at all. Do we love him with an all-absorbing, masterly affection? If not, we have not yet learned to be his disciples. Luke 14:27 Still further, our Lord proceeds to lay down the terms of discipleship. His followers must suffer loss and shame, and be willing to do so, or they have not learned the first elements of the fait...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for September 21 “Faint, yet pursuing” (Judges 8:4) It is a great thing thus to learn to depend upon God to work through our feeble resources, and yet, while so depending, to be absolutely faithful and diligent, and not allow our trust to deteriorate into supineness and indolence. We find no sloth or negligence in Gideon, or his three hundred; though they were weak and few, they were wholly true, and everything in them ready for God to use to the very last. “Faint yet pursuing” was their watchword as they followed and finished their glorious victory, and they rested not until the last of their enemies were destroyed, and even their false friends were punished for their treachery and unfaithfulness. So God still calls the weakest instruments, but when He chooses and enables them they are no longer weak, but “mighty through God,” and faithful through His grace to every trust and opportunity; “trusting,” as Dr. Chalmers used to say, “as though all d...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 21 “Let Trials Bless ”  - Romans 5:3 This is a promise in essence if not in form. We have need of patience, and here we see the way of getting it. It is only by enduring that we learn to endure, even as by swimming men learn to swim. You could not learn that art on dry land, nor learn patience without trouble. Is it not worth while to suffer tribulation for the sake of gaining that beautiful equanimity of mind which quietly acquiesces in all the will of God?  Yet our text sets forth a singular fact, which is not according to nature but is supernatural. Tribulation in and of itself worketh petulance, unbelief, and rebellion. It is only by the sacred alchemy of grace that it is made to work in us patience. We do not thresh the wheat to lay the dust: yet the Rail of tribulation does this upon God’s floor. We do not toss a man about in order to give him rest, and yet so the LORD dealeth with His children. Tr...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 21 Tozer in the Morning Why Satan Hates the Child of God As we move farther on and mount higher up in the Christian life we may expect to encounter greater difficulties in the way and meet increased hostility from the enemy of our souls. Though this is seldom presented to Christians as a fact of life it is a very solid fact indeed as every experienced Christian knows, and one we shall learn how to handle or stumble over to our own undoing. Satan hates the true Christian for several reasons. One is that God loves him, and whatever is loved by God is sure to be hated by the devil. Another is that the Christian, being a child of God, bears a family resemblance to the Father and to the household of faith. Satan's ancient jealousy has not abated nor his hatred for God diminished in the slightest. Whatever reminds him of God is without other reason the object of his malignant hate. A third reason is that a true Christian is a ...

 Worthy Brief - September 21, 2026  When His hidden work changes everything!  Matthew 13:33 Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened." The parable of the mustard seed reminds us not to overlook small beginnings. The miracle of the five loaves shows us not to dismiss small offerings. Now, I want to review the parable of the leaven, which teaches us not to ignore the hidden work. Yeshua (Jesus) says a woman takes leaven and hides it in three measures of meal until the whole batch is changed. At first, nothing seems dramatic. There is no noise or show. The leaven disappears into the dough, but once it is there, it starts to work. That is the mystery. The Kingdom often works where people cannot see. It enters quietly, starts deep in the heart, and for a while it may seem like nothing is happening. But hidden does not mean inactive. In Hebrew, leaven is called chametz ...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 21st September 2026 September 21 Job 31:1, 9,11-12 1"I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl. 9"If my heart has been enticed by a woman, or if I have lurked at my neighbor's door, ... 11For that would have been shameful, a sin to be judged. 12It is a fire that burns to Destruction; it would have uprooted my harvest. In Job 31 Job began to list the areas in which he had been faithful. His friends seem to have thought there must have been some hidden sin somewhere. Job resisted declaring the specifics of his righteousness up to this point, but since they insisted, he began to list all the areas he had already gone over in his own heart. The first one that was mentioned is lust. Job recognized the destructiveness of lust and made a covenant with his eyes not to look on a girl lustfully. He recognized it as a fire that burned to Destruction. He had probably witnessed that fire in the lives of young men in the city in whi...
