Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for May 10

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for May 10 “I am alive forevermore” (Revelation 1:18) Here is the message of the Christ of the cross and the still more glorious and precious Christ of the resurrection. It is beautiful and inspiring to note the touch of light and glory with which these simple words invest the cross. It is not said I am He that was dead and liveth, but “I am He that liveth and was dead, but am alive forevermore.” Life is mentioned before the death. There are two ways of looking at the cross. One is from the death side and the other from the life side. One is the Ecce Homo and the other is the glorified Jesus with only the marks of the nails and the spear. It is thus we are to look at the cross. We are not to carry about with us the mould of the sepulchre, but the glory of the resurrection. It is not the Ecce Homo, but the Living Christ. And so our crucifixion is to be so complete that it shall be lost in our resurrection and we shall even forget our sorrow and ca...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: May 10th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: May 10th Morning “God dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” 2 Samuel 7:1-17 2 Samuel 7:1 , 2 Samuel 7:2 It was a very gracious thought, and such an one as ought to be upon our own minds, if we know that the worship of God is in need of suitable accommodation. If God gives us a house, let us not be slow to find room for his service. 2 Samuel 7:3 Good men naturally like to encourage good designs, and therefore the seer spake out of the fulness of his heart. Yet he was mistaken. It was the prerogative of the Lord Jesus always to speak the mind of God, which he alone perfectly knew; other prophets only spake it when the spirit of prophecy rested upon them; yet, if in anything they were mistaken, the Lord soon rectified their error. Nathan did not refuse to unsay his own words when he was better instructed, neither should any of us be slow to retract if we have unknowingly taught any error. 2 Samuel 7:4-11 The Lord ac...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: May 10th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: May 10th “Fear Only God ” - Hebrews 13:6 Because God will never leave nor forsake us, we may well be content with such things as we have. Since the LORD is ours, we cannot be left without a friend, a treasure, and a dwelling place. This assurance may make us feel quite independent of men. Under such high patronage we do not feel tempted to cringe before our fellowmen and ask of them permission to call our lives our own; but what we say we boldly say and defy contradiction. He who fears God has nothing else to fear. We should stand in such awe of the living LORD that all the threats that can be used by the proudest persecutor should have no more effect upon us than the whistling of the wind. Man in these days cannot do so much against us as he could when the apostle wrote the verse at the head of this page. Racks and stakes are out of fashion. Giant Pope cannot burn the pilgrims now. If the followers of false teachers...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: May 10th

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: May 10th Tozer in the Morning The Church is Us Our most pressing obligation today is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church. It is of far greater importance that we have better Christians than that we have more of them. Each generation of Christians is the seed of the next, and degenerate seed is sure to produce a degenerate harvest not a little better than but a little worse than the seed from which it sprang. Thus the direction will be down until vigorous, effective means are taken to improve the seed. And how can we improve the church? Simply and only by improving ourselves: and there is where the difficulty lies. The church in any locality is what its individual members are, no better and no worse. We as members must begin by seeking moral amendment that will result in a positive spiritual renaissance. And that is why improvement is hard to achieve. As long as we ca...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 10th May 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 10th May 2026 May 10 1 Samuel 5:11-12 11So they called together all the rulers of the Philistines and said, "Send the ark of the god of Israel away; let it go back to its own place, or it will kill us and our people." For death had filled the city with panic; God's hand was very heavy upon it. 12Those who did not die were afflicted with tumors, and the outcry of the city went up to heaven. Israel was defeated in their first skirmish with the Philistines. Instead of seeking God as to why, they brought the Ark of the Covenant into battle, like a big lucky charm. The evil sons of Eli carried it. Israel was defeated. Eli's sons were killed, and the Ark was taken. Upon hearing the news, 98-year-old overweight Eli fell backward, broke his neck and died. Did he think God could not take care of the Ark? Sometimes we think everything is lost, but we forget God can fight without us. Samuel was still in Shiloh and the LORD could bring back the Ar...
