Daily Light on the Daily Path Devotional: April 30th Morning: Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this wo...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for April 30 Tozer in the Morning CHRIST IS NOT DIVIDED Much of our full gospel literature and much of our preaching tend to perpetuate a misunderstanding of what the Bible says about obedience and Christian discipleship. I think the following is a fair statement of what I was taught in my early Christian experience and before I began to pray and study and anguish over the whole matter: "We are saved by accepting Christ as our Savior." "We are sanctified by accepting Christ as our Lord." "We may do the first without doing the second." What a tragedy that in our day we often hear the gospel appeal made in this way: "Come to Jesus! You do not have to obey anyone. You do not have to give up anything. Just come to Him and believe in Him as Savior!" The fact that we hear this everywhere does not make it right! To urge men and women to believe in a divided Christ is bad teaching-for no one can receive a ha...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional April 30 Luke 2:48-49, 52 48When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you." 49"Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" 52And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. We have very few accounts of Jesus' life from birth to thirty years of age. These verses at the end of Luke are all we have to go on. In the tradition of that day a man was a disciple under a master until the age of thirty. Then he was ready to be an instructor. Jesus needed to grow and learn just as you and I do. The author of Hebrews tells us that He learned obedience through suffering (Hebrews 5:8). The last verse of today's text tells us He grew in wisdom. The humanity of Jesus experienced learning and growing as we do. In the process of growing...

A Bible Devotional 30th April 2023 Your Every Hair Is Numbered LUKE 12:7 ICB 7 Yes, God even knows how many hairs you have on your head. Don't be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows. Jesus gave us some insight on how much God is interested in us as humans. God provides for sparrows, and you are MUCH more valuable to God than any sparrow. Valuable enough to monitor every detail about you -- even your current hair-count. However God obtains your current hair-count -- He does know it. "Why would God waste His time with such useless information?" you may wonder. The point, which so many miss, is simply that God is interested in every detail of your life. Everything. Nothing concerning you is too small to bother God. You are the "apple of His eye" just as any young child is the delight of a good parent. So don't try to hide from God. Don't shut Him out of your life. Involve Him in every detail of your day. Talk things over with Him. Ask His adv...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: April 29th “Forget and Forgive ” - Proverbs 20:22 Be not in haste. Let anger cool down. Say nothing and do nothing to avenge yourself. You will be sure to act unwisely if you take up the cudgels and fight your own battles; and, certainly, you will not show the spirit of the LORD Jesus, It is nobler to forgive and let the offense pass. To let an injury rankle in your bosom and to meditate revenge is to keep old wounds open and to make new ones. Better forget and forgive. Peradventure, you say that you must do something or be a great loser; then do what this morning’s promise advises: "Wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee." This advice will not cost you money but is worth far more, Be calm and quiet. Wait upon the LORD; tell Him your grievance; spread Rabshakeh’s letter before the LORD, and this of itself will be an ease to your burdened mind. Besides, there is the promise "He shall save thee." G...

Daily Light on the Daily Path Devotional: April 29th Morning: Consider how great things he hath done for you. Thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. He knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. 1 Sam...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for April 29 Tozer in the Morning We Were Made to Worship Mans nature indicates that he was created for three things: To think, to worship and to work. But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the Mystery inexpressible. Mans mind is not the top peak of his nature. Higher than his mind is his spirit, that something within him which can engage the supernatural, which under the breath of the Spirit can come alive and enter into conscious communion with heaven, can receive the divine nature and hear and feel and see the ineffable wonder that is God. When, therefore, an institution dedicated to the growth and development of the thinking person seeks at the same time to turn this thinker into a worshiper, our debt to that institution becomes all the greater. So many schools on every level are content to train the intellect, forgetting that they are dealing with but part of the man-an impo...

In Pursuit of Peace : Harvest Daily Devotion by Pastor Greg Laurie – “In Pursuit of Peace” – Make the effort to get along.

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th April 2023 April 29 Luke 2:36-38 36There was also a prophetess, Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, 37and then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying. 38Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. Yesterday evening's devotion was about Simeon who was waiting to see the Messiah before he died. A few verses later we have the prophetess, Anna. Eighty-four was a very old age for that time. This sincere woman never left the temple! Can you imagine never leaving your church grounds? Her life was given completely in service to God. When she saw Simeon take the baby and begin to praise God, she knew in her spirit that He was the One. Then she hurried around to tell all the oth...

A Bible Devotional 29th April 2023 You Have A Purpose 2 TIMOTHY 1:9 NKJ 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, You have a purpose in life, a job to do, a mission to fulfill. You are here for a reason. What is it? Ask God. He knows. EPHESIANS 1:11 NIV 11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, Of course, I can only answer that question in general terms. If you are a parent, raising your child is important. Helping a friend is important. You never know how your actions may affect the world -- even through helping just one person. Don't just wait around for some "big purpose" -- for with God all the details are important -- even the "small" ones. If you don't know your purpose, just do whatever you can to help th...

At War Inside

Daily Christian Quote 29th April 2023 Rob Coscia April 29, 2023 Peace isn't just an absence of conflict. Peace is your powerful state in Jesus, the reality of his rest, wholeness, perspective, and presence in your life. It's the ultimate defense against the enemy, because he has no answer for it. He can't intimidate, manipulate, or corrupt anyone who lives in God's peace. If you've lost your peace, it's usually because you've stopped letting God be your source. Peace that depends on circumstances, or on what others do or don't do, is going to get broken quickly. https://dailychristianquote.com

Worthy Brief - April 28, 2023 Don't despise the resistance! Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. In the sermon on the mount, Yeshua said, "You are the light of the world," and commanded us to let our lights shine that we may give glory to our Heavenly Father. This world is becoming more ungodly and dark, and by deep contrast, the saints of the Lord will shine brighter! A candle in a bright room isn't particularly significant or easy to notice. A candle in the darkness shines like a lighthouse and offers the only source of guidance for movement. When Yeshua (Jesus) warned that the love of many will wax cold [Matthew 24:12], He implied that those who remain loving will really stand out. The r...

As he was enjoying his drive looking at the sights, suddenly his Rolls Royce broke down with no one around who could fix it. He sent a cable to the company in England, and they flew a man over who did the repairs. The man thought to himself, "This is going to cost me a ton of money." He waited for a bill, but it never came, so he sent a letter to the company telling them what had happened, how the mechanic had fixed his car, and wondered what the charge would be. He got a letter back from the Rolls Royce Company which said: "Dear Sir, Thank you so much for your letter.

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 28th April 2023 April 28 Luke 2:29-32 29"Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. 30For my eyes have seen your salvation, 31which you have prepared in the sight of all people, 32a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel." When God delivered Israel from the last plague on Egypt, He spared the firstborn through the blood of the lambs on the doorposts. From that time forward, God claimed the rights to every firstborn male. The parents had to buy back the child with an offering. Mary and Joseph had gone to the Temple to give this offering. When they arrived, a man named Simeon greeted them. He was not like the ritualistic religious leaders of his day. He communed with the Holy Spirit. It was revealed to him that he would not die until he saw the Anointed One who would save his people. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus into the Temple, Simeon knew in his spirit that this baby was ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: April 28th “It Becomes Mutual ” - 2 Corinthians 6:16 Here is a mutual interest. Each belongs to each. God is the portion of His people, and the chosen people are the portion of their God. The saints find in God their chief possession, and He reckons them to be His peculiar treasure. What a mine of comfort lies in this fact for each believer! This happy condition of mutual interest leads to mutual consideration. God will always think of His own people, and they will always think of Him. This day my God will perform all things for me; what can I do for Him? My thoughts ought to run toward Him, for He thinketh upon me. Let me make sure that it is so and not be content with merely admitting that so it ought to be. This, again, leads to mutual fellowship. God dwells in us, and we dwell in Him; He walks with us, and we walk with God.... Oh, for grace to treat the LORD as my God: to trust Him and to serve Him, as His Godhead...

Daily Light on the Daily Path Devotional: April 28th Morning: Behold the Lamb of God. It is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: . manifest in these last times for you, who by him do believe in God, that your faith and hope might be in God. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and st...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for April 28 Tozer in the Morning Christmas Breezes For those nations of the earth which have known the story of Jesus, Christmas is undoubtedly the most beautiful time of the year. Though the celebration of the Savior's birth occurs in the dead of winter, when in many parts of the world the streams are frozen and the landscapes cold and cheerless, still there is beauty at the Christmas season--not the tender beauty of spring flowers or the quiet loveliness of the full-blown summer, or yet the sad sweet graces of autumn colors. It is beauty of another kind, richer, deeper and more elevating, that beauty which considerations of love and mercy bring before the mind. Though we are keenly aware of the abuses that have grown up around the holiday season, we are still not willing to surrender this ancient and loved Christmas Day to the enemy. Though those purer emotions which everyone feels at Christmas are in most hearts all too fleeting, y...

A Bible Devotional 28th April 2023 Keep Your Eyes On The Prize PHILIPPIANS 3:14 KJV 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. What will really matter at the end of your life on earth? Will what you are giving attention to now still be important then? Or, will you be filled with regret for what you did -- or didn't do? Distractions abound. TV, phone calls, web sites, books, movies. It might be a good idea to stop and evaluate how you are investing your time. 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24 NIV 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Run to win. Win what? The true prize is to know God intimately and be His friend. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 NIV 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. One day, possibly soon, you will stand before God. Why not order your life now based on that "final reckoni...
