Worthy Brief - March 6, 2026

 Worthy Brief - March 6, 2026  The cost of standing alone! Numbers 14:10  And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel. The moment Joshua and Caleb spoke faith, the atmosphere turned hostile. The congregation had already accepted the majority report. Fear had filled the camp, and emotion had spread quickly through the people. When Joshua and Caleb stood and declared that God would give them the land, the response was not applause but rage. The crowd wanted to stone them. This is the cost of standing in faith when fear dominates the crowd. Joshua and Caleb were not rebellious or arrogant; they were simply repeating what God had already said. Yet in that moment, the voice of covenant sounded offensive to a people who had already surrendered to fear. Faith is rarely applauded in fearful seasons. When fear fills the atmosphere, courage feels threatening, and when unbe...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for March 6

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for March 6 Morning  “There is not enchantment against Jacob.”  Numbers 23:13-24  Balak, anxious to induce Balaam to curse Israel, took him from place to place, and offered one sacrifice after another, but all in vain; the Lord stood between his people and the machinations of their enemies. We will read the inspired record of one of Balaam’s oracular speeches it may serve for all.  Numbers 23:13  The king thought that the number, beauty, and order of Israel might have influenced the prophet, and therefore he would only let him see a part of them. The trick was in vain. God does not love his people because of their number. If there were but two or three he would be quite as sure to bless them.  Numbers 23:14  Moses and Balaam both stood on the same hill, but with very different objects. Places cannot change character.  Numbers 23:17  An enquiry which we all should raise, and search th...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for March 6

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for March 6 “Lean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5) Faith is hindered by reliance upon human wisdom, whether our own or the wisdom of others. The devil’s first bait to Eve was an offer of wisdom, and for this she sold her faith. “Ye shall be as gods,” he said, “knowing good and evil,” and from the hour she began to know she ceased to trust. It was the spies that lost the Land of Promise to Israel of old. It was their foolish proposition to search out the land, and find out by investigation whether God had told the truth or not, that led to the awful outbreak of unbelief that shut the doors of Canaan to a whole generation. It is very significant that the names of these spies are nearly all suggestive of human wisdom, greatness and fame. So in the days of Christ, it was the bondage of the Jews to the traditions of their fathers and the opinions of men, that kept them back from receiving Him. “How can ye believe,” He asked, “which rec...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for March 6 Tozer in the Morning Growing Despite the Obstacles A lifetime of observation, Bible reading and prayer has led to the conclusion that the only thing that can hinder a Christian's progress is the Christian himself.  The true child of God can live and grow in circumstances that are wholly unfavorable to such life and growth. Outward circumstances can help little or none in a Christian's spiritual life. The whole philosophy of the spiritual way requires us to believe this.  For this reason, it is always bad to blame anyone or anything for our spiritual or moral failures. God has so ordered things that His children may grow as successfully in the middle of a desert as in the most fruitful land. It is necessary that this should be so, seeing that the very world itself is a field where nothing good can grow except by some kind of miracle. The old hymn asks the rhetorical question, "Is this vile world a friend to grace,...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for March 6 “Guardian of the Fatherless ”  - Hosea 14:3 This is an excellent reason for casting away all other confidences and relying upon the LORD alone. When a child is left without its natural protector, our God steps in and becomes his guardian: so also when a man has lost every object of dependence, he may cast himself upon the living God and find in Him all that he needs. Orphans are cast upon the fatherhood of God, and He provides for them. The writer of these pages knows what it is to hang on the bare arm of God, and he bears his willing witness that no trust is so well warranted by facts, or so sure to be rewarded by results, as trust in the invisible but ever-living God.  Some children who have fathers are not much the better off because of them, but the fatherless with God are rich. Better have God and no other friend than all the patrons on the earth and no God. To be bereaved of the creature is painful, ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th March 2026

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th March 2026 March 6 Numbers 12:1-3 1Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. 2"Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?" they asked. "Hasn't he also spoken through us?" And the LORD heard this. 3(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) Moses family didn't approve of his marriage. We don't know what happened to Zipporah, his first wife. The new wife was an Egyptian, probably one of the multitude that came out with the Israelites to worship the God of the Hebrews. I think Moses was big enough to make his own decisions, and godly enough not to be second-guessed. The real issue is leadership. Who has the final say? "Shouldn't we vote on whether or not this is the right decision? God speaks to us too! Why should he remarry at his age (over eighty-years-old)?"  Yes, God does speak to them. We just saw i...
