Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 6th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 6th Morning “Be ye not stiffnecked.” 2 Chronicles 29:1-5 , 2 Chronicles 29:15-19 2 Chronicles 29:1 , 2 Chronicles 29:2 It is quite a relief to get rid of Ahaz and meet with one of the best of kings. Now Judah will prosper again. 2 Chronicles 29:3 Those who mean to do well cannot begin too early; the first year of this king’s reign was full of good. 2 Chronicles 29:15 Those who are to sanctify God’s house must themselves first be sanctified; we cannot cleanse others if our own hands are foul. 2 Chronicles 29:16 That memorable brook which our Lord crossed when he once for all sanctified his people. All the uncleanness of our holy things he has beheld; and by passing over that brook in sorrow he has put it all away. 2 Chronicles 29:19 The house being purged, worship could begin; our hearts also must be purified before we can offer acceptable homage to the Lord. 2 Chronicles 30:1 , 2 Chronicles 30:6-12 2 Chronicles ...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 6

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 6 “I am my beloved’s” (Song of Solomon 7:10) If you want power you must compress. It is the shutting in of the steam that moves the engine. The amount of powder on a flat surface that sends a ball to its destination when shut up in a gun only makes a flash. If you want to carry the electric current you must be insulated. Stand a man on a glass platform and turn a battery on him and he will be filled with electricity. Let him step off the glass, and the moment he touches earth he loses power. We must be inclosed by His everlasting Covenant. That holds us and keeps us from falling. He will be a wall of fire round about us. He comes Himself and envelops us round about with the old Shekinah glory, and will be the glory in the midst. He wants us inclosed—by a distinct act of consecration dedicated wholly to Him. Are you inclosed by His fences, His commandments, His promises, His covenant? Is your heart really and only for the Lord? If not, co...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 6

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 6 “His Love; His Gift; His Son ”  - John 3:16 Of all the stars in the sky, the polestar is the most useful to the mariner. This text is a polestar, for it has guided more souls to salvation than any other Scripture. It is among promises what the Great Bear is among constellations.  Several words in it shine with peculiar brilliance. Here we have God’s love with a "so" to it, which marks its measureless greatness. Then we have God’s gift in all its freeness and greatness. This also is God’s Son, that unique and priceless gift of a love which could never fully show itself till heaven’s Only-begotten had been sent to live and die for men. These three points are full of light.  Then there is the simple requirement of believing, which graciously points to a way of salvation suitable for guilty men. This is backed by a wide description -- "whosoever believeth in him." Many have found room in ...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 6

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 6 Tozer in the Morning Spiritual Sleepwalkers When the Bible says "Awake to righteousness and sin not," it indicates the possiblity of a sudden awakening, like when an alarm clock going off rouses you out of sleep. There is such a thing as being asleep and suddenly being wakened, and this is surprising to people. People often say, "You know, I was living a life displeasing to God. I was a church member, but though I didn't know it, I was displeasing to God. My life wasn't right. Then suddenly I was wakened by God. It was a surprise." . . . People who are awakened from moral sleep say, "Well, what's the matter with me? I've been living a life that's been displeasing to God, and I simply did not know it. "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it. . . . This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven'" (Genesis 28:16-17). Jacob must ha...

Worthy Brief - July 6, 2026

 Worthy Brief - July 6, 2026  Blessed are the reviled! Matthew 5:11-12  "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. 12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. As Yeshua (Jesus) preaches the sermon on the mount, something very personal happens in verse eleven. Up to now, Yeshua has been describing the kind of people who belong to the Kingdom — the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, those persecuted for righteousness. Now He turns the blessing directly toward His followers: "Blessed are you." Then He gives the reason: "for My sake." This is not simply about being opposed for doing what is right. This is about being opposed because your life has become connected to Him — your name tied to His name, your convictions a witness to the King you follow. Yeshua ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th July 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th July 2026 July 6 2 Kings 5:10-12 10Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed." 11But Naaman went away angry and said, "I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than any of the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?" So he turned and went off in a rage. Naaman was a great commander in the army of the king of Aram. He had contracted some type of skin disease. His wife's servant was a young girl from Israel. The young girl spoke of a prophet that could cure Naaman. With the king's permission, he journeyed to Israel to be cured. The king of Israel thought it was a ploy to have reason for the king of Aram to go to war with Israel. Elish...
