Daily Encounter: Always the Same for Monday, July 28, 2025

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 28 Tozer in the Morning WHO IS YOUR EXAMPLE? The Christian churches of our day have suffered a great loss in rejecting the example of good men, choosing instead the "celebrity of the hour" for their pattern. We must agree that it is altogether unlikely that we know who our "greatest" men are. One thing is sure, however-the greatest man alive today is the best man alive today. That is not open to debate. Spiritual virtues run deep and silent. The holy and humble man will not advertise himself nor allow others to do it for him. The Christian who is zealous to promote the cause of Christ can begin by living in the power of God's Spirit, and so reproducing the life of Christ in the sight of men. In deep humility and without ostentation he can let his light shine. To sum it all up: the most effective argument for Christianity is still the good lives of those who profess it! Tozer in the Evening Devotion to Thin...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 28 “Bow Down; Be Lifted Up ” - 1 Peter 5:6 This is tantamount to a promise: if we will bow down, the LORD will lift us up. Humility leads to honor; submission is the way to exaltation. That same hand of God which presses us down is waiting to raise us up when we are prepared to bear the blessing. We stoop to conquer. Many cringe before men and yet miss the patronage they crave; but he that humbles himself under the hand of God shall not fail to be enriched, uplifted, sustained, and comforted by the ever-gracious One. It is a habit of Jehovah to cast down the proud and lift up the lowly. Yet there is a time for the LORD’s working. We ought now to humble ourselves, even at this present moment; and we are bound to keep on doing so whether the LORD lays His afflicting hand upon us or not. When the LORD smites, it is our special duty to accept the chastisement with profound submission. But as for the LORD’s exalta...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 28 “Not my will, but Thine” (Luke 22:42) He who once suffered in Gethsemane will be our strength and our victory, too. We may fear, we may also sink, but let us not be dismayed, and we shall yet praise Him, and look back from a finished course, and say, “Not one word hath failed of all that the Lord hath spoken.” But in order to do this, we must, like Him, meet the conflict, not with a defiant, but with a submissive spirit. He had to say, “Not My will, but Thine be done”; but in saying it, He gained the very thing He surrendered. So the submission of Gethsemane is not a blind and dead submission of a heart that abandons all its hope; but it is the free submission that bows the head, in order to get double strength through the faith and prayer. We let go, in order that we may take a firmer hold. We give up, in order that we may more fully receive. We lay our Isaac on Mount Moriah, and we ask him back, no longer our Isaac, but God’s Isaac,...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for July 28 Morning “I will raise up for them a plant of renown.” Ezekiel 34:11-31 Ezekiel continued to cheer the captivity of his brethren with comfortable words. After complaining of the unfaithful shepherds, who had scattered his people, the Lord promised to gather his chosen by his own hand. Ezekiel 34:11 , Ezekiel 34:12 Because they are his own people he will not suffer them to be lost. The Lord’s elect shall be gathered by efficacious grace and brought to Jesus. Ezekiel 34:13-15 Provision and rest are two great necessities. We have in Christ Jesus both of these blessings. Ezekiel 34:16 Proud, self-sufficient, and self-righteous persons have neither part nor lot in the covenant; for them judgment is reserved. Ezekiel 34:18 , Ezekiel 34:19 A hard, overbearing spirit towards weaker brethren always brings chastisement with it. Ezekiel 34:20-23 Who is this but Jesus, the true David, the gentle Shepherd who tenderly c...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 28th July 2025 7/28 1 Corinthians 13:13 13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. The gifts of the Spirit that help to build up the body of Christ will one day no longer be needed. God's work in us will be completed. Have you heard this expression? "A hearse is never followed by a moving van." Not only will we leave behind all physical possessions, but we will leave our spiritual gifts as well. The good news is that we will take with us our faith, hope, and love. Our faith is our conviction based on the Word of God. It is also our expectation based on those convictions. We will continually see the fulfillment of that faith, or as the song says, "My faith will be my eyes." The same is true for our hope. Every godly hope will be realized throughout eternity! Greater still is love. The greatest love on earth is a dim shadow of the fullness of love we will experience in eternity. The old n...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for July 27 Morning “Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us.” Daniel 3:1 , Daniel 3:3 , Daniel 3:7-9 , Daniel 3:12-28 , Daniel 3:30 Daniel 3:30 The unfaltering fidelity of the three holy children is worthy of our imitation. They never hesitated or parleyed with the tyrant. Fixed were their hearts in God, and confidently stayed on him; and so they conquered the proud monarch; yea, and vanquished death itself, quenching the violence of the flames. Rich was their reward. Jesus walked the glowing coals with them, and turned the furnace into a fair pavilion. In his name let us also abide by the truth without flinching, and no evil shall come nigh unto us. Never let us debate or question, but for God and his holy gospel let us be bold to sacrifice even life itself. May the sons of this family be such young men as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Amen.

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 27 “More than Mere Words ” - Acts 13:34 Nothing of man is sure; but everything of God is so. Especially are covenant mercies sure mercies, even as David said "an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure." We are sure that the Loci meant His mercy. He did not speak mere words: there is substance and truth in every one of His promises. His mercies are mercies indeed. Even if a promise seems as if it must drop through by reason of death, yet it never shall, for the good LORD will make good His word. We are sure that the LORD will bestow promised mercies on all His covenanted ones. They shall come in due course to all the chosen of the LORD. They are sure to all the seed, from the least of them unto the greatest of them. We are sure that the LORD will continue His mercies to His own people. He does not give and take. What He has granted us is the token of much more. That which we have not ye...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 27 Tozer in the Morning The Last Chapter The four Gospels tell the story of the life and ministry of Jesus, and in so doing, they follow accurately the ordinary course of biography, giving the facts of His birth, growth, work, death and burial. That is the way with biography: the very word itself suggests it, for it comes from bios, life, and graphein, to write, and means the written history of a person's life. So says Noah Webster. Now, when we look at the Gospels we note an odd--and wonderful--thing. An extra chapter is added. Why? Biography, by its own definition, must confine itself to the record of the life of an individual. That part of the book which deals with the family tree is not biography, but history, and that part which follows the record of the subject's death is not biography either. It may be appraisal, or eulogy, or criticism, but not biography, for the reason that the "bios" is gone: the subje...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 27 “The building up of the body of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13) God is preparing His heroes, and when the opportunity comes He can fit them into their place in a moment and the world will wonder where they came from. Let the Holy Ghost prepare you, dear friend, by all the discipline of life; and when the last finishing touch has been given to the marble, it will be easy for God to put it on the pedestal, and fit it into its niche. There is a day coming, when, like Othniel, we, too, shall judge the nations, and rule and reign with Christ on the millennial earth; but ere that glorious day can be, we must let God prepare us as He did Othniel at Kirjethsepher, amid the trials of our present life, and in the little victories, the significance of which, perhaps, we little dream. At least, let us be sure of this, that if the Holy Ghost has got an Othniel ready, the Lord of heaven and earth has a throne prepared for him. Is it for me to be used by H...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 27th July 2025 7/27 1 Corinthians 13:8 8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. Agape love, the love of God, will never pass away. If that love is in us, we will not stop loving someone and we won't give up on them. Spouses need God's love for one another. We need it for family members. We need this godly love for those to whom we are witnessing. Most of all, we need to have this love toward God. It is a love that values another for their intrinsic value without expecting anything in return. By contrast, the gifts of God's Spirit will cease when we are in heaven. There will be no need for prophecy. Everyone will know the Word. There will be no need for tongues, either to commune with God in prayer or to witness. We will be speaking with Jesus face to face. Knowledge in this case is the supernatural insight into a person's situation, such as that knowl...

Israel to open Gaza humanitarian corridors as aid drops begin - BBC News

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 26 Tozer in the Morning Footprints in Song One of the serious weaknesses of present-day evangelicalism is the mechanical quality of its thinking. A utilitarian Christ has taken the place of the radiant Savior of other and happier times. This Christ is able to save, it is true, but He is thought to do so in a practical across-the-counter manner, paying our debt and tearing off the receipt like a court clerk acknowledging a paid-up fine. A bank-teller psychology characterizes much of the religious thinking in our little gospel circle. The tragedy of it is that it is truth without being all the truth. If modern Christians are to approach the spiritual greatness of Bible saints or know the inward delights of the saints of post-biblical times, they must correct this imperfect view and cultivate the beauties of the Lord our God in sweet, personal experience. In achieving such a happy state, a good hymnbook will help more than any o...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 26 “A Change of Name ” - Hosea 2:16-17 That day has come. We view our God no more as Baal, our tyrant LORD and mighty master, for we are not under law but under grace. We now think of Jehovah, our God, as our Ishi, our beloved husband, our LORD in love, our next-of-kin in bonds of sacred relationship. We do not serve Him less obediently, but we serve Him for a higher and more endearing reason. We no longer tremble under His lash but rejoice in His love. The slave is changed into a child and the task into a pleasure. Is it so with thee, dear reader? Has grace cast out slavish fear and implanted filial love? How happy are we in such an experience! Now we call the LORD’s day a delight, and worship is never a weariness. Prayer is now a privilege, and praise is a holiday. To obey is heaven; to give to the cause of God is a banquet. Thus have all things become new. Our mouth is filled with singing and our heart wit...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for July 26 Morning “The Almighty shall be thy defence.” Jeremiah 34:1 , Jeremiah 34:4-18 Jeremiah 34:1 In a very short time they forced their way through the outer wall, and began to assail the inner fortifications. Jeremiah 34:5 The feeble-minded and vicious monarch had now before him conclusive evidence of the truthfulness of Jere- miah, and no doubt his anguish was great as he remembered how many warnings he had despised. Jeremiah 34:6 To see his babes slain, and his friends put to death by hundreds, must have been worse than death, especially to so timid a man as Zedekiah. Jeremiah 34:7 He had shut his eyes to the light, and now God for ever shuts him up in darkness; he had chosen the bondage of sin, and now he must wear the chains of misery. God has effectual ways of punishing rebels. Jeremiah 34:8-12 The mighty monarch cared kindly for the poor prophet. No doubt he had heard who he was, and how he had counselle...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 26 “Now mine eye seeth Thee” (Job 42:5) We must recognize the true character of our self-life and its real virulence and vileness. We must consent to its destruction, and we must take it ourselves, as Abraham did Isaac, and lay it at the feet of God in willing sacrifice. This is a hard work for the natural heart, but the moment the will is yielded and the choice is made, that death is past, the agony is over, and we are astonished to find that the death is accomplished. Usually the crisis of life in such cases hangs upon a single point. God does not need to strike us in a hundred places to inflict a death wound. There is one point that touches the heart, and that is the point God usually strikes, the dearest thing in our life, the decisive thing in our plans, the citadel of the will, the center of the heart, and when we yield there, there is little left to yield anywhere else, and when we refuse to yield at this point, a spirit of evasio...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 26th July 2026 7/26 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. The previous chapter was an exhortation on the gifts of the Spirit. The diversity of gifts is important for a well-equipped church. Paul ends the chapter by telling us that he will show us a more excellent way (1 Corinthians 12:31b). That way is the way of love. Gifts are helpful. Love is essential. Without love, which is the first fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), we can accomplish nothing of real value (1 Corinthians 13:2-3). It was love that brought Jesus to live among us. It was love that testified to the truth throughout His life. It was love that took Him to the cross to pay our sin debt. It is love that calls those who trust in Him His bride. And it is love that patiently speaks to our hearts, helping us to grow spiritually day by day. How do we...

 Worthy Brief - July 25, 2025 The zeal of the Lord! Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.  Hebrews 4:9-10  There remains therefore a rest for the people of God.  10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. The majestic Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 9 culminates in a powerful declaration: “The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Not might. Not maybe. Not if we work hard enough. It will be done -- because God Himself is passionate to see it through. The Hebrew word for “zeal” here is קִנְ...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 25 “Nothing to Alarm Us ” - Daniel 12:13 We cannot understand all the prophecies, but yet we regard them with pleasure and not with dismay. There can be nothing in the Father’s decree which should justly alarm His child. Though the abomination of desolation be set up, yet the true believer shall not be defiled; rather shall he be purified, and made white, and tried. Though the earth be burned up, no smell of fire shall come upon the chosen. Amid the crash of matter and the wreck of worlds, the LORD Jehovah will preserve His own. Calmly resolute in duty, brave in conflict, patient in suffering, let us go our way, keeping to our road, and neither swerving from it nor loitering in it. The end will come; let us go our way till it does. Rest will be ours, All other things swing to and fro, but our foundation standeth sure. God rests in His love, and, therefore, we rest in it. Our peace is, and ever shall be, like ...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 25 “He that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God” (Romans 14:18) God can only use us while we are right. Satan cared far less for Peter’s denial of his Master than for the use he made of it afterwards to destroy his faith. So Jesus said to him: “I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not.” It was Peter’s faith he attacked, and so it is our faith that Satan contests. “The trial of our faith is much more precious than gold that perisheth.” Whatever else we let go let us hold steadfastly to our trust. “Cast not away, therefore, your confidence,” and “hold fast the rejoicing of our hope firm unto the end.” And if you would hold your trust, hold your sweetness, your rightness of spirit, your obedience to Christ, your victory in every way. Whatever comes, regard it as of less consequence, than that you should triumph and stand fast, and accepting every circumstance as God is pleased to let occur, wave the banner of your vict...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 25 Tozer in the Morning RESPONSE TO THE WORD Men and women who read and study the Scriptures for their literary beauty alone have missed the whole purpose for which they were given. God's Word is not to be enjoyed as one might "enjoy" a Beethoven symphony or a poem by Wordsworth. The reason: the Bible demands immediate action, faith, surrender, committal. Until it has secured these, it has done nothing positive for the reader, but it has increased his responsibility and deepened the judgment that must follow. The Bible was called forth by the fall of man. It is the voice of God calling men home from the wilds of sin; it is a road map for returning prodigals. It is instruction in righteousness, light in darkness, information about God and man and life and death and heaven and hell. Further, the destiny of each individual depends upon the response to that Voice in the Word! Tozer in the Evening Recognizing Satans Stra...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for July 25 Morning “His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.” Jeremiah 32:1-15 The judgment of God hung over Jerusalem for a long time, as though the Lord were loath to strike the final blow. During that period Jeremiah prophesied that after the city had been destroyed the people would yet return, and in token of his faith he purchased a piece of ground. Jeremiah 32:6 , Jeremiah 32:7 This was a forlorn request indeed, for a piece of land in a country devastated by war and occupied by the enemy, is hardly worth accepting as a gift. Jeremiah 32:8 Therefore, he proceeded at once to the purchase, and thus made the people see that he believed that which he preached. We are bound, not only to have faith in God’s promises, but also to act accordingly. It is not every man who would give up good money for land which he could not reach, in the midst of a destructive war; no one indeed would do so, unless he believed that bett...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 25th July  2025 7/25 1 Corinthians 12:22 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable . . . Paul had addressed the factions that form when people boast of following one particular teacher. The old nature within us tends to take pride in differences, as if we are the only ones who really have the truth. The same type of thing was happening in respect to the gifts of the Spirit. Paul explained that every gift is essential and the all gifts are dependent on what each gift brings. He related it to parts of the body. If the body only had one part it would be useless. If it is missing a part, it is handicapped. A healthy and effective congregation will have all the various gifts and appreciate each one. In our verse for today, Paul dealt a blow to those who were prideful of their gift, while at the same time he encouraged those with the more common gifts. Every time I have done a survey of the gifts in a congrega...

 Worthy Brief - July 24, 2025 His name shall be called ... Isaiah 9:7a – Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David… Hebrews 12:27-28  Now this, "YET ONCE MORE," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28  Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.  In a world weary from political upheaval, moral confusion, and fleeting peace, Isaiah offers us a vision of something profoundly different—an ever-increasing kingdom ruled by a King whose justice is not compromised, whose peace is not fleeting, and whose throne is eternally secure. The phrase "of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end" speaks not just of duration, but of expansion—a kingdom that doesn’t plateau, doesn’t weaken, and doesn’t shr...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 24 “The righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us” (Romans 7:4) In our earlier experiences we know the Holy Ghost only at a distance, in things that happen in a providential direction, or in the Word alone, but after awhile we receive Him as an inward Guest, and He dwells in our very midst, and He speaks to us in the innermost chambers of our being. But then the external working of His power does not cease, but it only increases, and seems the more glorious. The Power that dwells within us works without us, answering prayer, healing sickness, overruling providences, “Doing exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the Power that worketh in us.” There is a double presence of the Lord for the consecrated believer. He is present in the heart, and is mightily present in the events of life. He is the Christ in us, the Christ of all the days, with all power in heaven and earth. And so the Holy Ghost is our wonde...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for July 24 Morning “Behold the wicked abominations that they do.” Ezekiel 8 During the reign of Zedekiah, the prophet Ezekiel was upon the banks of the Chebar with the exiles who had been carried away in the days of Jehoiachin. Let us read one of his prophetic visions. Ezekiel 8:2 , Ezekiel 8:3 Probably the image of Astarte, the queen of heaven, or the Syrian Venus; idolaters have usually had some favourite female idol, and the Romanists have followed closely in their track. Ezekiel 8:6-8 To set up the image of a licentious divinity in the temple itself was enough to move the Lord to withdraw his glorious presence from the temple for ever. Are there not also sins in us which might lead the Holy Spirit to depart from us? Ezekiel 8:10 They practised the degrading worship of the Egyptians, by whom loathsome animals and insects were reverenced. Ezekiel 8:14 Celebrating a most lascivious festival, too wicked to be describ...

A few in Sardis kept their garments undefiled, and their recompense is to be spotless. Perfect holiness is the prize of our high calling; let us not miss it. See, here is joy!
