Daily Encounter: Guided By the Spirit for Monday, August 24, 2026

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 24th Morning “He went out into a solitary place and prayed.” Mark 1:35-45 Mark 1:35 The Sun of Righteousness was up before the sun. How much must our Lord have loved prayer to renounce his needed rest in sleep, in order to hold converse with his heavenly Father. He was sinless, and yet needed prayer: far be it from us to dream that we can do without it. In private we must, like our Lord, equip ourselves for the public battle of life. Mark 1:38 Seclusion was not used as a luxury by him, nor did he plead his devotions as an excuse for escaping public duties. He was ready to preach or to pray, according to the demand of the hour. In such readiness for service should all his followers excel. Mark 1:39 , Mark 1:40 Probably this poor man in his eagerness to be healed had broken the rules which kept him in seclusion, and dared to enter the house where Jesus was, contrary to the law of leprosy. His was a venturesome f...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 24 “Let your moderation be known unto all men” (Philippians 4:5) The very test of consecration is our willingness not only to surrender the things that are wrong, but to surrender our rights, to be willing to be subject. When God begins to subdue a soul, He often requires us to yield the things that are of little importance in themselves, and thus break our neck and subdue our spirit. No Christian worker can ever be used of God until the proud self-will is broken, and the heart is ready to yield to God’s every touch, no matter through whom it may come. Many people want God to lead them in their way and they will brook no authority or restraint. They will give their money, but they want to dictate how it shall be spent. They will work as long as you let them please themselves, but let any pressure come and you immediately run up against, not the grace of resignation, but a letter of resignation, withdrawing from some important trust, an...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 24 Tozer in the Morning SPIRITUAL TESTING In the scriptural accounts, there are many examples of men and women being tested, and I think it is plain that the Holy Spirit rarely tells a believer that he is about to be tested. Abraham was being tested when the Lord asked him to take his only son up into the mountain. He thought he was being ordered. He did not know he was being tested. Peter was unconsciously tested. Paul was tested and tried. There does come a time when we have heard enough truth and the Holy Spirit says, "Today this disciple is going to be tested." The people of Israel in their time of testing came to Kadesh-Barnea and instead of crossing into the promised land, they said, "We will not go over!" God simply let them make their own test and they flunked it! Are there any among us who have an honest desire to be Christlike? We should all be aware that every day is a day of testing. Some come to...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 24 “God Above Human Philosophy ” - 1 Corinthians 1:19 This verse is a threatening so far as the worldly wise are concerned, but to the simple believer it is a promise. The professedly learned are forever trying to bring to nothing the faith of the humble believer, but they fail in their attempts. Their arguments break down, their theories fall under their own weight, their deep-laid plots discover themselves before their purpose is accomplished. The old gospel is not extinct yet, nor will it be while the LORD liveth. If it could have been exterminated, it would have perished from off the earth long ago. We cannot destroy the wisdom of the wise, nor need we attempt it, for the work is in far better hands. The LORD Himself says, "I will," and He never resolves in vain. Twice does He in this verse declare His purpose, and we may rest assured that He will not turn aside from it. What clean work the LO...

 Worthy Brief - August 24, 2026 You can't perform delicate surgery with a plank in your Eye! Matthew 7:3-5 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?  5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Yeshua (Jesus) paints a memorable scene in the Sermon on the Mount. He describes a man who notices a speck in his brother’s eye while ignoring a plank in his own. The picture is almost funny, and that’s intentional. Imagine someone with a board sticking out of his eye, trying to help his brother with a tiny splinter. Yeshua was not only correcting actions. He was revealing a heart issue, using humor so the lesson would stick. We can spot a tiny bit of sawdust in someone else’s eye, even from far away, but often miss ...
