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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 6th Morning “He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” Esther 6 Esther 6:1 he who commanded a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, could not command a little sleep; Esther 6:1 To while away the weary hours, and help him to slumber. Esther 6:2 Singular was the providence which led to the reading of this record; the hand of the Lord was in it. Esther 6:3 The monarch was impressed with the great service which Mordecai had rendered, and perhaps struck with the stern uprightness for which he was famous; and he felt that so loyal an adherent ought not to have been passed over and left unrewarded. Esther 6:5 He was up betimes to make a halter for the man he hated, but the Lord thought not so. Providence had brought him where he would mix for himself a bitter cup. Esther 6:6-9 He went as far as he well could, imagining that all these honours were intended for himself. Esther 6:12 Not at all elated, he took his old p...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 6

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 6 “As many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God” (Romans 8:14) The blessed Holy Spirit is our Guide, our Leader, and our Resting-place. There are times when He presses us forward into prayer, into service, into suffering, into new experiences, new duties, new claims of faith, and hope, and love, but there are times when He arrests us in our activity, and rests us under His overshadowing wing, and quiets us in the secret place of the Most High, teaching us some new lessons, breathing into us some deeper strength or fulness, and then leading us on again, at His bidding alone. He is the true Guide of the saint, and the true Leader of the Church, our wonderful Counsellor, our unerring Friend; and he who would deny the personal guidance of the Holy Ghost in order that he might honor the Word of God as our only guide, must dishonor that other word of promise, that His sheep shall know His voice, and that His hearkening an...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 6 “Go; Take Your Property ” - Deuteronomy 1:21 There is a heritage of grace which we ought to be bold enough to win for our possession. All that one believer has gained is free to another. We may be strong in faith, fervent in love, and abundant in labor; there is nothing to prevent it; let us go up and take possession. The sweetest experience and the brightest grace are as much for us as for any of our brethren; Jehovah has set it before us; no one can deny our right; let us go up and possess it in His name. The world also lies before us to be conquered for the LORD Jesus. We are not to leave any country or corner of it unsubdued. That slum near our house is before us, not to baffle our endeavors, but to yield to them. We have only to summon courage enough to go forward, and we shall win dark homes and hard hearts for Jesus. Let us never leave the people in a lane or alley to die because we have not enough...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 6 Tozer in the Morning Unused Truth Lack of balance in the Christian life is often the direct consequence of overemphasis on certain favorite texts, with a corresponding underemphasis on other related ones. For it is not denial only that makes a truth void; failure to emphasize it will in the long run be equally damaging. And this puts us in the odd position of holding a truth theoretically while we make it of no effect by neglecting it in practice. Unused truth becomes as useless as an unused muscle. Sometimes our dogmatic insistence upon "It is written" and our refusal to hear "Again it is written" makes heretics of us, our heresy being the noncreedal variety which does not rouse the opposition of the theologians. One example of this is the teaching that crops up now and again having to do with confession of sin. It goes like this: Christ died for our sins, not only for all we have committed but for all we...

Worthy Brief - August 6, 2026

 Worthy Brief - August 6, 2026 Remember the debt the King forgave! Matthew 18:23-27  Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, 'Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.' Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.  Yeshua doesn't leave forgiveness as an conceptual command. He gives us a story that makes the mercy of the Kingdom impossible to ignore. A king settles accounts with his servants. One man owes ten thousand talents — in that world, one talent equaled about 6,000 denarii, and a denarius was a day's wage. Ten thousand talents was roughly 60 mil...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th August 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th August 2026 August 6 2 Chronicles 13:5 5Don't you know that the LORD, the God of Israel, has given the kingship of Israel to David and his descendants forever by a covenant of salt? Abijah inherited the throne of Judah after his father Rehoboam's death. When war came between the northern tribes of Israel and southern Judah, Abijah found that his troops were outnumbered two to one. He climbed a hill and shouted out to the army of Israel the above passage. Little explanation is given in Scripture about the salt covenant, but we can piece together from other texts what it must have meant. When two parties sat down and ate salted bread they entered into a peace agreement. It implied that they were friends and were bound to defend one another. When did David do this with God? It was when he ate the shewbread while fleeing from Saul. God promised to make David king and later promised his descendants would reign. Abijah was reminding Israel that Go...
