Daily Encounter: It Is Written for Wednesday, August 12, 2026

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 12th Morning “My soul doth magnify the Lord.” Luke 1:26-33 , Luke 1:35 , Luke 1:38-40 , Luke 1:46-55 The birth of the forerunner being near, it was now time for the Lord himself to be spoken of. Luke 1:26-33 , Luke 1:35 , Luke 1:38-40 , Luke 1:46-55 The person chosen to be the mother of the Lord Jesus was a lowly maid, but she was also a godly woman of no mean ability of mind, for her song is written in the highest style of poetry. To the humble and devout the visitations of the Holy Spirit are granted. The manner in which the angel saluted Mary was highly honourable to her, but affords no ground for the superstitious reverence of the Papists, for “he saluted her as a saint, and did not pray to her as a goddess.” Mary confessed herself a sinner needing salvation, for she rejoiced in God her Saviour; it never entered into her mind to claim the homage of mankind. It is a great blessing that in answer to earnest ...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 12 Tozer in the Morning Our Only Grounds for Boasting The faith of the Christian rests upon Christ Himself. On Him we repose and in Him we live. Christ gains nothing from any human philosophy, however pure and noble it may be. He owes nothing to Plato or to Aristotle. If these men had never lived the Christ in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily would have been all He ever was and is world without end. His redemptive work was completed centuries before the dawn of modern science, and of course seeks no aid from science. Christ is unique in the only sense that word will bear. He is the mystery of Godliness, a miracle, an emergence of the Deity into time and space for a reason and a purpose. He is complete in Himself. Because we Christians live on two life-levels simultaneously, the spiritual and the natural, we do, as sons of Adam, owe to philosophy and science a lasting debt of gratitude. Music, literature, a...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 12 “Light in Darkness ” - 2 Samuel 22:29 Am I in the light? Then Thou, O LORD, art my lamp. Take Thee away and my joy would be gone; but as long as Thou art with me, I can do without the torches of time and the candles of created comfort. What a light the presence of God casts on all things! We heard of a lighthouse which could be seen for twenty miles, but our Jehovah is not only a God at hand, but far off is He seen, even in the enemy’s country. O LORD, I am as happy as an angel when Thy love fills my heart. Thou art all my desire. Am I in the dark? Then thou, O LORD, wilt lighten my darkness. Before long things will change. Affairs may grow more and more dreary and cloud may be piled upon cloud; but if it grow so dark that I cannot see my own hand, still I shall see the hand of the LORD. When I cannot find a light within me, or among my friends, or in the whole world, the LORD, who said, "Let there ...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 12 “Not ourselves, but Christ Jesus” (2 Corinthians 4:5) Your Christian influence, your reputation as a worker for God, and your standing among your brethren, may be an idol to which you must die, before you can be free to live for Him alone. If you have ever noticed the type on a printed page, you must have seen that the little “i” has always a dot over it, and it is that dot that elevates it above the other letters in the line. Now, each us is a little i, and over every one of us there is a little dot of self-importance, self-will, self-interest, self-confidence, self-complacency, or something to which we cling and for which we contend, which just as surely reveals self-life as if it were a mountain of real importance. This i is a rival of Jesus Christ, and the enemy of the Holy Ghost, and of our peace and life, and therefore God has decreed its death, and the Holy Spirit, with His flaming sword is waiting to destroy it, that we may ...

 Worthy Brief - August 12, 2026 Your Abba knows! Matthew 6:16–18 Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance… but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. After the Lord’s prayer, Yeshua (Jesus) now turns to fasting, bringing the spiritual exercise of fasting inward. He has already spoken of giving and praying in secret. Now the pattern in prayer is also for fasting; Kingdom living is devotion before the Father, not performance before men. He says "when you fast," not "if." Fasting was already woven into Israel's spiritual life. The Hebrew word tzom (צוֹם) means a voluntary humbling of the body before God — appearing in times of repentance, mourning, intercession, and consecration. It is the whole body saying, "Abba, I need You more than bread." But like giving and prayer, fasting can be corrupted by the desire to be seen. The hypocrites disfigured their fac...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 12th August 2026 August 12 2 Chronicles 20:21-22 21After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: "Give thanks to the LORD, for his love endures forever." 22As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. Yesterday we read about the people waiting upon God and getting His instructions on how to face the vast army coming against them. They believed and began to obey God. Jehoshaphat consulted with the people to see if they had the faith to put singers out front. Apparently, they liked the idea. Since they truly believed that God was going to fight the battle and deliver them, they thought they might as well sing praise for the splendor of His holiness on the way there. This huge men's choir sang the same choru...
