Daily Encounter: Unshakeable Faith for Friday, May 15, 2026

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: May 15th Morning “A flattering mouth worketh ruin.” 2 Samuel 15:1-12 The chastisements of God fell very heavily upon David from the time of his great sin, even to the end of his life. His children became the source of his trials. Amnon fell into the foulest sin, and Absalom his brother slew him on account of it. Absalom having obtained forgiveness for the murder, returned to the court and commenced at once to plot against his own father, who loved him far too well. In his attempts to undermine his fathers authority he acted very cunningly, using every art to win popular applause. 2 Samuel 15:1 Outward pomp often catches the attention of the populace, and therefore Absalom added to the attraction of his own handsome person the unusual magnificence of chariots and running footmen. 2 Samuel 15:2-5 Absalom’s ambition led him to take great pains to appear affable and attentive to all. He was early at the palace gate and s...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for May 15 “I press toward the mark” (Philippians 3:14) We have thought much about what we have received. Let us think of the things we have not received, of some of the vessels that have not yet been filled, of some of the places in our life that the Holy Ghost has not yet possessed for God, and signalized by His glory and His presence. Shall the coming months be marked by a diligent, heart searching application of “the rest of the oil,” to the yet unoccupied possibilities of our life and service? Have we known His fulness of grace in our spiritual life? Have we tasted a little of His glory? Have we believed His promise for the mind, the soul, the spirit? Have we known all His possibilities for the body? Have we tested Him in His power to control the events of providence, and to move the hearts of men and nations? Has He opened to us the treasure-house of God, and met our financial needs as He might? Have we even begun to understand the ministry...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for May 15 “God’s High Places ”  - Psalms 91:14 Does the LORD say this to me? Yes, if I have known His name. Blessed be the LORD, I am no stranger to Him. I have tried Him, proved Him, and known Him, and therefore do I trust Him. I know His name as a sin-hating God, for by His Spirit’s convincing power I have been taught that He will never wink at evil. But I also know Him as the sin-pardoning God in Christ Jesus, for He has forgiven me all trespasses. His name is faithfulness, and I know it, for He has never forsaken me though my troubles have multiplied upon me.  This knowledge is a gift of grace, and the LORD makes it to be the reason why He grants another grace-gift, namely, setting on high. This is grace upon grace. Observe that if we climb on high, the position may be dangerous; but if the LORD sets us there it is safe. He may raise us to great usefulness, to eminent experience, to success in service, to leaders...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for May 15 Tozer in the Morning GIVE TIME TO GOD I have often wished that there were some way to bring modern Christians into a deeper spiritual life painlessly by short easy lessons; but such wishes are vain. No shortcut exists! God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. It is well that we accept the hard truth now: the man who would know God must give time to Him! He must count no time wasted which is spent in the cultivation of His acquaintance. He must give himself to meditation and prayer hours on end. So did the saints of old, the glorious company of the apostles, the goodly fellowship of the prophets and the believing members of the holy Church in all generations. And so must we if we would follow in their train! May not the inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the kingdom like little children through the marketpl...

 Worthy Brief - May 15, 2026 Discover the root of the Kingdom! Romans 11:16-18  For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, also the branches. 17  And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a sharer of the root and the fatness of the olive tree with them, 18  do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, it is not you that bears the root, but the root bears you.  "If the root is holy, so are the branches" [Romans 11:16]. Paul does not begin Romans 11 with a sentimental picture. He begins with a deep covenant understanding. He is not handing Gentile believers in Rome a lovely metaphor to make them feel included. He is taking them beneath the visible branches and showing them the soil where God's promises have been alive for generations. Before Rome had a congregation, before the gospel crossed the sea, before Gentile believers gathered in homes to ...
