Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 31st

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 31st “Presence of Mind ” - Proverbs 3:25-26 When God is abroad in judgments, He would not have His people alarmed. He has not come forth to harm but to defend the righteous. He would have them manifest courage. We who enjoy the presence of God ought to display presence of mind. Since the LORD Himself may suddenly come, we ought not to be surprised at anything sudden. Serenity under the rush and roar of unexpected evils is a precious gift of divine love. The LORD would have His chosen display discrimination so that they may see that the desolation of the wicked is not a real calamity to the universe. Sin alone is evil; the punishment which follows thereupon is as a preserving salt to keep society from putrefying. We should be far more shocked at the sin which deserves hell than at the hell which comes out of sin. So, too, should the LORD’s people exhibit great quietness of spirit. Satan and his serpent seed are f

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 31st

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 31st “What things soever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them” (Mark 11:24) Faith is not working up by will power a sort of certainty that something is coming to pass, but it is seeing as an actual fact that God has said that this thing shall come to pass, and that it is true, and then rejoicing to know that it is true, and just resting and entering into it because God has said it. Faith turns the promise into a prophecy. While it is merely a promise it is contingent upon our co-operation; it may or may not be. But when faith claims it, it becomes a prophecy and we go forth feeling that it is something that must be done because God cannot lie. Faith is the answer from the throne saying, “It is done.” Faith is the echo of God’s voice. Let us catch it from on high. Let us repeat it, and go out to triumph in its glorious power. Hear the answer from the throne, Claim the promise, doubting one, God hath spoken,

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for March 31

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for March 31 Tozer in the Morning "I WILL NOT FORSAKE YOU!" Men without God suffer alone and die alone in times of war and in other circumstances of life. All alone! But it can never be said that any true soldier of the Cross of Jesus Christ, no man or woman as missionary or messenger of the Truth has ever gone out to a ministry alone! There have been many Christian martyrs, but not one of them was on that mission field all alone. Jesus Christ keeps His promise of taking them by the hand and leading them triumphantly through to the world beyond. We can sum it up by noting that Jesus Christ asks us only to surrender to His lordship and obey His commands. When the Spirit of God deals with our young people about their own missionary responsibility, Christ assures them of His presence and power as they prepare to go: "All power is given unto Me! I am no longer in the grave. I will protect you. I will support you. I will go ahead

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st March 2024

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st March 2024 3/31 Deuteronomy 7:21 21 You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. The Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land for the second time. The first time they prepared to enter, the bad report from the spies caused them to be fearful and doubt God. This time God commanded them not to fear. He reminded them of what He did to Pharaoh, to his army, and to those who had attacked them as the journeyed in the wilderness. Past victories should bolster our faith to believe God for what lies before us. The main reason not to fear is that God is in our midst. For the follower of Jesus this means God is in the congregation and in them personally. We may suffer persecution, illness, and other hardship, but we need not fear. The all-powerful God who loves us is in us and working through us when we allow Him that freedom. He works all things together for good. He will be our guide, even unto o

Daily Christian Quote 31st March 2024 The resurrection is the keystone of the arch on which our faith is supported. If Christ has not risen, we must impeach all those witnesses for lying. If Christ has not risen, we have no proof that the crucifixion of Jesus differed from that of the two thieves who suffered with him. If Christ has not risen, it is impossible to believe his atoning death was accepted. Dwight L. Moody https://dailychristianquote.com

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 30th “Prayer, Thanksgiving, Praise ” - Philippians 4:6-7 No care but all prayer. No anxiety but much joyful communion with God. Carry your desires to the LORD of your life, the guardian of your soul. Go to Him with two portions of prayer and one of fragrant praise. Do not pray doubtfully but thankfully. Consider that you have your petitions, and therefore thank God for His grace. He is giving you grace; give Him thanks, Hide nothing. Allow no want to lie rankling in your bosom; "make known your requests." Run not to man. Go only to your God, the Father of Jesus, who loves you in Him. This shall bring you God’s own peace. You shall not be able to understand the peace which you shall enjoy. It will enfold you in its infinite embrace. Heart and mind through Christ Jesus shall be steeped in a sea of rest. Come life or death, poverty, pain, slander, you shall dwell in Jesus above every rolling wind or darke

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 30th

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 30th “I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2) In the way of righteousness is life and in the pathway thereof is no death. That is the secret of healing. Be right with God. Keep so. Live in the consciousness of it, and nothing can hurt you. Off from the breastplate of righteousness will glance all of the fiery darts of the devil, and faith be stronger for every fierce assault. How true it is, “Who is he that shall harm you if ye be followers of that which is good?” And how true also, “Holding faith and a good conscience, which some having put away, concerning faith, have made shipwreck.” And yet again, “If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt keep all His statutes and commandments, I will put none of these diseases upon thee that I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” There’s a question God is asking Every cons

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for March 30 Tozer in the Morning MAN'S VIEW OF THIS WORLD If you have ever given much thought to this present world in which we live, you have some idea of the power of interpretation. The world is a stable fact, quite unchanged by the passing of years, but how different is modern man's view of the world from the view our fathers held. The world is for all of us not only what it is; it is what we believe it to be, and a tremendous load of wealth or woe rides on the soundness of our interpretation! In the earlier days, when Christianity exercised a dominant influence over American thinking, men conceded this world to be a battleground. Man, so our fathers held, had to choose sides. He could not be neutral-for him it must be life or death, heaven or hell! In our day, the interpretation has changed completely. We are not here to fight, but to frolic! We are not in a hostile foreign land; we are at home! It now becomes the bounden dut

Moses had just reviewed the Ten Commandments and reminded the people of their vow before God to keep them. He also reminded them of their fear of God and how terrified they were of His presence on the mountain. It is a fear of His justice upon evil and the recognition of that evil in our own hearts. Several times Moses told them that keeping the commands of God was in their best interest. God commanded these things because they were good for them. They would stand out among the nations as a blessed people and the reason would be their relationship with, and obedience to, the one true God. They were to write the words that God had spoken on their doorposts, and bind them upon the

Philippians 3:8-11 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Today's Daily Encounter Friday, March 29, 2024 Scarred For Me "If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."1 A young, widowed mother left her son sleeping soundly while she went to fetch water from the creek, not too far from their home. She had done this many times before and always returned to a still-sleeping child. As she returned with her bucket full of water, she found a large crowd surrounding her home which was now engulfed in flames; her son was still inside! The crowd tried to stop her from running into the burning structure, yelling: "The fire is too great! You'll die too." Escaping their hands, she entered the inferno that was once her home, wrapped her son in a blanket, and held him tightly against her breast. While the child emerged completely untouched by the fire, his young mother had suffered severe burns

This Day's Verse 29th March 2024 Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.  Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.  And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”  But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.  And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.  But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed.  You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.  He is risen!  He is not here.  See the place where they laid Him.  But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”  So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed.  And they said nothing to anyone, for the

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 29th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 29th “Dauntless Faith ” - Acts 18:10 So long as the LORD had work for Paul to do in Corinth, the fury of the mob was restrained. The Jews opposed themselves and blasphemed; but they could neither stop the preaching of the gospel nor the conversion of the hearers. God has power over the most violent minds. He makes the wrath of man to praise Him when it breaks forth, but He still more displays His goodness when He restrains it; and He can restrain it. "By the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone, till thy people pass over, I LORD." Do not, therefore, feel any fear of man when you know that you are doing your duty. Go straight on, as Jesus would have done, and those who oppose shall be as a bruised reed and as smoking flax. Many a time men have had cause to fear because they were themselves afraid; but a dauntless faith in God brushes fear aside like the cobwebs in a giant’s path. No

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 29th

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 29th “He will keep the feet of His saints” (1 Samuel 2:9) Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places. The safe place lies in obedience to God’s Word, singleness of heart, and holy vigilance. When Christians speak of standing in a place where they do not need to watch, they are in great danger. Let us walk in sweet and holy confidence, and yet with holy, humble watchfulness, and “He will keep the feet of His saints.” And “now unto Him who is able to keep us from stumbling, and present us faultless before the presence of His glory, to the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory, and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.” What to do we often wonder, As we seek some watchword true, Lo, the answer God has given, What would Jesus do?

Morning and Evening with A.W.

It was the continuing emphasis for believers that we must live to gear ourselves into things eternal and to live the life of heaven here upon earth. We must yield our first obedience and loyalty to Jesus Christ, at any cost! Anything we try to offer God tbat is less than that really is a degradation of the Christian church. Frankly, I would rather be a member of a group that meets in a little room on a side street than to be part of a great activity that is not New Testament in its doctrine, in its spirit, in its living, in its holiness, in all of its texture and tenor. The Spirit-filled and Spirit-led congregation will be a joyful people. Beyond that, it will be useful and caring and compassionate! I do believe that the Christian chu

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th March 2024 3/29 Deuteronomy 4:24 24 For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Moses made sure the people understood that because they did not see a form but only heard the voice out of the fire on Sinai, they should never make an image of God. God is a Spirit. The nations around them made gods in the cast or carved forms of people or animals. The Israelites were warned that if they made idols, they would not be in their new land for long. God would cast them out like He was about to cast out the Canaanites. Why is God so adamant about not making images? The images are the shape of things He has made. The only image that could represent Him is the sinless Son of God that was to come into the world. God sees Israel like a loving husband sees his bride. If a bride was to chase some worthless thing that would destroy her, the husband should be jealous. That is not the jealousy of selfishness that demands complete attention, but the passi

He uttered this cry as a soldier might do on the battlefield, who perceives, with the last effort of consciousness, that the struggle in which he has sacrificed his life has been a splendid victory. But the triumph and the reward of His work never come to an end; for still, as the results of what He did unfold themselves age after age, as His words sink deeper into the minds of men, as His influence changes the face of the world, and as heaven fills with those whom He has redeemed, "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied." https://dailychristianquote.com

Worthy Brief - March 28, 2024 Have a heart after God! Psalms 89:3-4 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. [Selah in Hebrew means “pause and ponder this!”] Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David [in the Hebrew New Testament it’s written - Yeshua HaMashiach ben David], the son of Abraham. New Testament genealogies of Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus the Christ) all identify Him as the son of king David. It was universally understood from the Tenach (OT) that the messiah would be descended from David and that he would restore the Davidic monarchy to its ultimate and most universal expression, even that this king would reign and sit on the throne forever. Why was Yeshua's identification with David so significant? One reason is that David is the only man in the Bible about whom the Lord said, this is “a man after My own heart”. Yet we kno

Today's Daily Encounter Thursday, March 28, 2024 Welcoming Others Home "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."1 The church should be a place where we find strength and companions for our faith journey, but we cannot forget those outside the congregation. They, too, need to know about the Lord Jesus and experience His extraordinary love. First Peter 2:4-10 is a wonderful passage that explains who we are in Christ. We are the "living stones" of his church, "a holy nation" gathered by the One who "called us out of darkness into his marvelous light." At times, we may be tempted to close ranks against the world, to think of life as an "us versus them"

For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours? The time for Moses' death was drawing near. In his final book, Deuteronomy, he recounts their journeys and reviews the laws that God had given them. As he came to the end of the retelling of their journey, he recalls praying that the Lord would relent and let him go into the Promised Land. It is interesting to see that even Moses had the problem of placing blame on others. He told the people that it was because of their rebellious actions that he was not allowed to enter (Deuteronomy 1:37). God said that it was because Moses didn't believe and honor Him in the sight of the people (Numbers 20:12). Even the greatest men have a tendency to justify their wrongs. Moses pleaded with God on the basis of wanting to see more of God

Daily Christian Quote 28th March 2024 Jesus gave us a model for the work of the church at the Last Supper. While his disciples kept proposing more organization - Hey, let's elect officers, establish hierarchy, set standards of professionalism - Jesus quietly picked up a towel and basin of water and began to wash their feet.

Worthy Brief - March 27, 2024

Worthy Brief - March 27, 2024 Go into the highways and byways! 1 Samuel 22:1-2 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him. And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men. When David was anointed king over Israel, he didn’t take his place at the throne immediately. He had to wait, and bide his time, until Saul was removed from power, before arriving at his destined place as King. Like His father David, Yeshua (Jesus) was received as Israel's king/messiah at the triumphal entry, (often called "Palm Sunday"), and then, "anointed" King of the Jews, ironically receiving His true title from the Romans, while hanging on a cross. But He is still waiting to reveal His identity as King on ea

Today's Daily Encounter Wednesday, March 27, 2024 Abandonment Issues — Resolved! My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?... those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever!1 There is a seventeen-year age gap between my youngest brother and me. My mom had in me a built-in babysitter and so, my baby sibling and I became very close. However, a year later, when the time came for me to leave home, my brother, who had become very attached to me, found it hard to let me go. Years later, due to the fact that my family was serving in a church in Mexico, I decided to return to my parent's home during my pregnancy to receive maternity care in the States. My brother, now grown, approached me one day and told me how much he enjoyed having me home again, but wasn't sure he could handle it if I abandoned him again! He was joking, of course, as he went on to tell me that he had suffered "abandonment issues" and it was all my fault!   This cute little anal

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 27th

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 27th “Drawing Near to God ” - James 4:8 The nearer we come to God, the more graciously will He reveal Himself to us. When the prodigal comes to his father, his father runs to meet him. When the wandering dove returns to the ark, Noah puts out his hand to pull her in unto him, When the tender wife seeks her husband’s society, he comes to her on wings of love. Come then, dear friend, let us draw nigh to God who so graciously awaits us, yea, comes to meet us. Did you ever notice that passage in Isaiah 58:9? There the LORD seems to put Himself at the disposal of His people, saying to them, "Here I am." As much as to say -- "What have you to say to me? What can I do for you? I am waiting to bless you." How can we hesitate to draw near? God is nigh to forgive, to bless, to comfort, to help, to quicken, to deliver. Let it be the main point with us to get near to God. This done, all is done. If we dr

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 27th

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 27th “What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee” (Psalms 56:3) We shall never forget a remark Mr. George Mueller once made in answer to a gentleman who asked him the best way to have strong faith. “The only way,” replied the patriarch of faith, “to learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.” This is very true. The time to trust is when all else fails. Dear one, if you scarcely realize the value of your present opportunity, if you are passing through great afflictions, you are in the very soul of the strongest faith, and if you will only let go, He will teach you in these hours the mightiest hold upon this throne which you can ever know. “Be not afraid, only believe”; and if you are afraid, just look up and say, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in Thee,” and you will yet thank God for the school of sorrow which was to you the school of faith. O brother, give heed to the warn

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: March 27th

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: March 27th Tozer in the Morning The One Before Whom All Shall Bow The cure for superstition is an increased appreciation of the being of God: not names only, but character and being. The idea that the devil is afraid of a word or a gesture is pure superstition. He is not afraid of any name, not even the name Jesus. There are thousands of little boys in Latin America who bear that name, and surely Satan does not stand in fear of them. No, it is not a combination of letters that strikes terror to the heart of Satan. It is the glorious Person who bears the name Jesus whom he fears. To the name Jesus God has added the titles 'Lord and Christ,' and this means that all power has been given unto Him in heaven and in earth. Back of the name is the sovereign Person of God's Son, our Savior. From this Person Satan flees, but it is a waste of time and effort to try to impress him with mere words and phrases. In the degree that we know Go

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 27th March 2024

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 27th March 2024 3/27 Numbers 35:33 33 You shall not pollute the land in which you live, for blood pollutes the land, and no atonement can be made for the land for the blood that is shed in it, except by the blood of the one who shed it. The tribe of Levi was given cities to dwell in within the other tribes. These cities were called cities of refuge. If someone accidentally killed a person, he or she could flee to one of these cities and be protected from anyone seeking to avenge the death. Jesus told us that if we hate our brother we are guilty of murder in our heart. Jesus is our city of refuge where our heart can be changed. There is another lesson to be found in this passage. Pollution is a big topic today. It is only common sense that we should care for our environment. But what baffles me is that the more vociferous about pollution people become, the more trash I see along the roadways. It is the "everyone-but-me" syndrome. The real pollut

You knew that you were surrounded by murderers, yet you came in peace, and by your sacrifice you would utterly conquer death before the week had passed. You, oh Lord, are blessed and worthy of my praise. You have saved your people. I say, "You are my king!"... I long to live in the city where you sit on the throne! Establish your Kingdom, so that your people can live in peace. Jesus, I bow before you, and I will sing your praises until your Kingdom comes and is established, and forever after. https://dailychristianquote.com

Today'a Daily Encounter Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Today'a Daily Encounter Tuesday, March 26, 2024 Gratitude - Better Than Sacrifice "But as for me, afflicted and in pain – may your salvation, God, protect me. I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving. This will please the Lord more than an ox, more than a bull with its horns and hooves. The poor will see and be glad – you who seek God, may your hearts live! The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people."1 When David wrote Psalm 69, his life was not right. He was in great distress because he was being pursued by implacable adversaries. His song before the Lord included both a lament for his plight and a call for divine justice against his enemies. But as David continued to pour out his heart to God, the tone of his prayer began to change. Before the Psalm ended, his words expressed gratitude. David was sure that God saw and heard him, and he recognized that thankfulness for such things is of great value to the Lord. In fact,

This Day's Verse 26th March 2024

This Day's Verse 26th March 2024 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”  He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’”  So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.  When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve.  And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”  They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”  Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.  The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him.  But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”  Then Judas, the one who would betray him
