Worthy Brief - April 30, 2024 Pass through the drill! Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. When I was in school, it seemed they ran a “fire drill” at least once a year. A long, loud, kind of scary bell would sound and we knew it was either a real fire, or, more likely, just another drill. We were formed into lines, ushered down the halls, and out the doors we went. Of course, the point was practice....so we would be prepared for a real fire. Drills are preparations for real threats. They are "trials". They test and prepare our readiness, give us opportunity to try on the emotions and actions we would experience in a genuine crisis. We need them and should even "count it pure joy" because they're necessary for our growth and maturity [James 1]. And trials are graduated; that is they get harder, kind of like math tests, they seem even to build on one another. Abr...

Today's Daily Encounter Tuesday, April 30, 2024 The Importance of Quiet Time ...he said to them, "Take to heart all the words by which I am warning you today, that you may command them to your children, that they may be careful to do all the words of this law. For it is no empty word for you, but your very life, and by this word you shall live long in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess."1 Growing up, I remember Mom trying to make her Bible time a priority. Since we, her children, were hard at obliging her that time, she took whatever means necessary to acquire it. And so it was that on many occasions we would see her grab her Bible and her coffee and head to the bathroom where she was most likely to have a moment's peace. We eventually caught on to the fact that she was having her quiet time with the Lord and was not to be disturbed.   In the Old Testament, when Moses was setting laws for God's people to follow, he encouraged them to teach God...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: April 30th “The Overcomer’s Reward ” - Revelation 2:17 My heart, be thou stirred up to persevere in the holy war, for the reward of victory is great. Today we eat of heavenly food which falls about our camps; the food of the wilderness, the food which comes from heaven, the food which never fails the pilgrims to Canaan. But there is reserved for us in Christ Jesus a still higher degree of spiritual life and a food for it which, as yet, is hidden from our experience. In the golden pot which was laid up in the ark there was a portion of manna hidden away, which though kept for ages never grew stale. No one ever saw it; it was hid with the Ark of the Covenant, in the Holy of Holies. Even so, the highest life of the believer is hid with Christ, in God. We shall come to it soon, Being made victorious through the grace of our LORD Jesus, we shall eat of the King’s meat and feed upon royal dainties. We shall feed upon Jesus....

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: April 30th “Love believeth all things” (1 Corinthians 13:7) Beautiful is the expression in the Book of Isaiah which reflects with exceeding sweetness the love of our dear Lord. He said, “They are My people, children that will not lie; so He was their Saviour.” They did lie, but He would not believe it. At least He speaks as if He would not believe it in the greatness of His love, because they were His people. He has not seen iniquity in Jacob nor perversity in Israel. There is plenty of it to see, and the devil sees it all, and a good many people are only too glad to see it; but the dear Father will not see it. He covers it with His love and the precious blood of His dear atoning Son. Such a wonderful love ought surely to make us gentler to others, and more anxious to cause our Father less need to hide His loving eyes from our imperfections and faults. If we have the mind and heart of Christ, we shall clothe even the world with those graces which fai...

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...

The Limitless Love of God

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th April 2024 4/30 1 Samuel 8:18 18 And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD will not answer you in that day." Samuel was a godly judge, but he had the same problem that Eli had before him. His sons became corrupt. Because there are godly fathers does not always mean there will be godly sons. The people saw the corruption and asked Samuel to appoint a king to reign over Israel so that they could be like the other nations. That did not sit well with Samuel. He took it to the LORD. The LORD told him it was because they had rejected the LORD ruling over them. He had Samuel warn them about how the king would treat them: taxation, conscription, annexation, and other abuses. When man reigns, selfishness and power mongering become evident. The greater the power, the more they will abuse that power. Our verse today was the final warning. They could choose a king, but they shouldn't expect...

Worthy Brief - April 29, 2024 Be a good citizen! Phillipians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, When we think of a good citizen, we probably think of a law-abiding, productive contributor to society who takes pride in his country. I'm sure all of us would like to be thought of as good citizens of the countries in which we live. My wife has dual citizenship, she's both Israeli and American -- I guess that means she has to work extra hard at being loyal! We, as believers in Yeshua (Jesus), have to remember that we also have dual citizenship. We must become good citizens of both Heaven and Earth. How do we do this? We love God with all our heart, mind and soul and love our neighbor as ourselves. We become productive contributors in our local assemblies and/or in our local communities, and we continually give our best to the Lord, living our lives for Him and for His Kingdom. So often we forget that we are ...

Today's Daily Encounter Monday, April 29, 2024 A Simple Prayer "When you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him."1 The other day I received a text from a young man. Previously, he and I had met several times to talk, as he tried to overcome certain addictions in his life, but for different reasons, we hadn't been able to meet in a while. His text to me simply read, "Can you pray for me? All I need right now is a simple prayer." His text reminded me of two things. First, it reminded me of the type of prayer that God longs to hear from us. God does not care about the eloquent words we use or how beautifully our sentences flow together. He cares about the heart behind the prayer. It doesn't matter if our prayer is 5 seconds long or 5 minutes long, God wants us to be sincere, genuine, and humble in the way w...

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...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: April 29th “Love never faileth” (1 Corinthians 13:8) In our work for God it is a great thing to find the key to men’s hearts, and recognize something good as a point of contact for our spiritual influence. When Jesus met the woman at Samaria He immediately seized hold of the best things in her, and by this He reached her heart, and drew from her a willing confession of her salvation. A Scotchman once said that his salvation was all due to the fact that a good man (Lord Shaftsbury, we believe) once put his arms around him and said, “John, by the grace of God we will make a man of you yet.” The old legend tells the story of a poor, dead dog lying on the street in the midst of the crowd, every one of whom was having something to say, until Jesus came along, and immediately began to admire its beautiful teeth. He had something kind to say even of him. There is but One can live and love like this; The Christ-love from the living Christ must spring. O! Jes...

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...

The Savior of the World

Wayside Chapel Daily Devoional 29th April 2024 4/29 1 Samuel 7:12 12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, "Till now the LORD has helped us." The Ark of the Covenant had been returned to Israel, but the people knew God was not pleased with them. It was a time of national repentance. The nation gathered at the city of Mizpah to fast and pray. The Philistines saw this as an opportunity to attack them again. The Israelites cried out for Samuel to intercede for them. The LORD thundered a mighty sound and threw the Philistines into a state of confusion. Israel soundly defeated them and took back the cities the Philistines had captured. Samuel took a stone and stood it up as a marker and reminder that the LORD had helped them. He called the stone, Ebenezer, which means stone of help. During the life of Samuel, the Israelites would be free from Philistine invasions. In the classic hymn, "Come, Thou Fount of Eve...

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.

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: April 28th “For it is God which worketh in you” (Philippians 2:13) Sanctification is the gift of the Holy Ghost, the fruit of the Spirit, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the prepared inheritance of all who enter in, the greatest obtainment of faith, not the attainment of works. It is divine holiness, not human self-improvement, nor perfection. It is the inflow into man’s being of the life and purity of the infinite, eternal and Holy One, bringing His own perfection and working out His own will. How easy, how spontaneous, how delightful this heavenly way of holiness! Surely it is a “highway” and not the low way of man’s vain and fruitless mortification. It is God’s great elevated railway, sweeping over the heads of the struggling throngs who toil along the lower pavement when they might be borne along on His ascension pathway, by His own almighty impulse. It is God’s great elevator carrying us up to the higher chambers of His palace, without over-...

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...

After he had dealt severely with them, did they not send the people away, and they departed? The LORD brought His word to pass in one day. The Philistines went to war with Israel. Eli's sons were killed. The Ark of the Covenant was captured. When Eli heard the news, he fell backward and broke his neck and died. The Philistines put the ark in their temple. The next morning, the statue of their god, Dagon, was found lying on the ground before the ark. They stood it back up. The next morning it was on the ground again with the head and arms broken away from the trunk. The people began to grow tumors and some died. They realized these were judgments from the God of Israel and decided they wouldn't make the same mistake the Egyptians made. This shows us that even four-hundred years after the exodus the people of the land were still...

The LORD is concerned about everything that concerns me. All that is now good, but not perfect, the LORD will watch over, preserve, and carry out to completion. This is a great comfort. I could not perfect the work of grace myself. Of that I am quite sure, for I fail every day and have only held on so long as I have because the LORD has helped me. If the LORD were to leave me, all my past experience would go for nothing, and I should perish from the way. But the LORD will continue to bless me. He will perfect my faith, my love, my character, my lifework. He will do this because He has begun a work in me. He gave me the concern I feel, and, in a measure, He has fulfilled my gracious aspirations, He never leaves a work unfinished; this would not be for His glory, nor would it be like Him. He ...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: April 27th “The sweetness of the lips” (Proverbs 16:21) Spiritual conditions are inseparably connected with our physical life. The flow of the divine life-currents may be interrupted by a little clot of blood; the vital current may leak out through a very trifling wound. If you want to keep the health of Christ, keep from all spiritual sores, from all heart wounds and irritations. One hour of fretting will wear out more vitality than a week of work; and one minute of malignity, or rankling jealousy or envy will hurt more than a drink of poison. Sweetness of spirit and joyousness of heart are essential to full health. Quietness of spirit, gentleness, tranquility, and the peace of God that passes all understanding, are worth all the sleeping draughts in the country. We do not wonder that some people have poor health when we hear them talk for half an hour. They have enough dislikes, prejudices, doubts, and fears to exhaust the strongest constitution. B...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for April 27 Tozer in the Morning Discipling As Many As Possible Now the serious Christian wants to escape both extremes. Yet he is much concerned about the whole matter of numbers and is eager to find the will of God for his life and ministry. Should he go out for larger crowds or accept smaller ones as the will of God for him? Does success in the Lord's work depend upon numbers? Is it possible to make up in quantity what is lacking in quality and so accomplish the same result? Perhaps an illustration or two might help. If our country should be visited by a famine and you were put in charge of feeding the starving in your section of the city, would numbers matter? Most surely they would. Would it not be better to feed five hungry children than two? Would you not feel obligated to feed hundreds rather than tens, thousands rather than hundreds? Certainly you would. Or if a ship sank and your church were given a rescue boat, would number...

The Great Tragedy

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 27th April 2024 4/27 1 Samuel 2:35 35 And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. Eli was unable to control his sons who were priests of the tabernacle. They would rob the offerings and even have relations with women that ministered to the LORD. A prophet came to Eli and told him that because of his sons' actions, the priesthood would be given to another family. Eli's sons would both die on the same day. Now we begin to see why Hannah would have in her heart to give her son, Samuel, to the LORD. Eli must have learned from his mistakes with his sons. He appears to have raised Samuel to have the fear of the LORD and a desire to be faithful to Him. The words of our verse for today are a part of the prophecy to Eli. Like most prophecies, they have an intermediate and an ultimate fulfillment. The...

Today's Daily Encounter Friday, April 26, 2024 Do It for Them "Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."1 Motivation to do or not do something is a curious thing. There are many factors that influence motivation. We can be motivated by the fear of injury or illness. Motivation can also take the form of pleasure and fulfillment. Some are motivated by greed while others are motivated by selflessness; and so on. Sometimes, therefore, it is difficult not only to find the right motivational idea or emotion, but it can also be misunderstood as to which factor actually motivated the action you desired to take place.

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: April 26th “Gracious Dealing ” - Deuteronomy 15:18 An Israelitish master was to give his bondservant liberty in due time, and when he left his service he was to start him in life with a liberal portion, This was to be done heartily and cheerfully, and then the LORD promised to bless the generous act. The spirit of this precept, and, indeed, the whole law of Christ, binds us to treat people well. We ought to remember how the LORD has dealt with us, and that this renders it absolutely needful that we should deal graciously with others, It becomes those to be generous who are the children of a gracious God. How can we expect our great Master to bless us in our business if we oppress those who serve us? What a benediction is here set before the liberal mind! To be blessed in all that we do is to be blessed indeed. The LORD will send us this partly in prosperity, partly in content of mind, and partly in a sense of His favo...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: April 26th “Strangers and pilgrims” (Hebrews 11:13) If you have ever tried to plough a straight furrow in the country—we are sorry for the man that does not know how to plough and more sorry for the man that is too proud to want to know—you have found it necessary to have two stakes in a line and to drive your horses by these stakes. If you have only one stake before you, you will have no steadying point for your vision, but you can wiggle about without knowing it and make your furrows as crooked as a serpent’s coil; but if you have two stakes and ever keep them in line, you cannot deviate an inch from a straight line, and your furrow will be an arrow speeding to its course. This has been a great lesson to us in our Christian life. If we would run a straight course, we find that we must have two stakes, the near and the distant. It is not enough to be living in the present, but it is a great and glorious thing to have a distant goal, a definite objec...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for April 26 Tozer in the Morning The Barrenness of Busyness Satan's distracting words often come from the most unexpected quarters. Martha would call Mary away from sitting at the feet of the Master. Sometimes, if we are not careful, our best friend may distract us. Or it might be some very legitimate activity. This day's bustle and hurly-burly would too often and too soon call us away from Jesus' feet. These distractions must be immediately dismissed, or we shall know only the "barrenness of busyness." The multiplying agencies and the extraneous activities of much of the current gospel "programming" may distract us if we are not wary and lead us into some meandering by-path that comes to a dead end. Our genius is preserved by sticking at the task of worldwide evangelization that God has called us to by the tried and proven methods that God has blessed, thereby avoiding the slough of an effete denominationa...
