Remember the Days - Holy Land Moments Devotional

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for December 7 “Abide with us; for it is toward evening” (Luke 24:29) In His last messages to the disciples in the 14th and 15th chapters of John, the Lord Jesus clearly teaches us that the very essence of the highest holiness is, “Abide in Me, and I in you, for without Me ye can do nothing.” The very purpose of the Holy Ghost whom He promised was to reveal Him, that at “that day, ye shall know that I am in the Father, and ye in Me, and I in you,” and the closing echo of His intercessory prayer was embraced in these three small but infinite words, “I in them.” Is it for me to be cleansed by His power From the pollution of sin? Is it for me to be kept every hour By His abiding within? Is it for me to be perfectly whole Thro’ His anointing divine; Claiming in body, and spirit, and soul, All of His fulness as mine? Wonderful promise so full and so free, Wonderful Saviour, Oh, how can it be, Cleansing and pardon and mercy for me? Yes, it’s for me, fo...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for December 7 “Gift of Strength; Peace to Bless ”  - Psalms 29:11 David had just heard the voice of the LORD in a thunderstorm and had seen His power in the hurricane whose path he had described; and now, in the cool calm after the storm, that overwhelming power by which heaven and earth are shaken is promised to be the strength of the chosen. He who wings the unerring bolt will give to His redeemed the wings of eagles; He who shakes the earth with His voice will terrify the enemies of His saints and give His children peace. Why are we weak when we have divine strength to flee to? Why are we troubled when the LORD’s own peace is ours? Jesus, the mighty God, is our strength; let us put Him on and go forth to our service. Jesus, our blessed LORD, is also our peace; let us repose in Him this day and end our fears. What a blessing to have Him for our strength and peace both now and forever!  That same God who rides upon ...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for December 7 Morning  “The love of money is the root of all evil.”  1 Timothy 6  The first epistle to Timothy concludes with a practical exhortation relating to various classes in the church, and with an earnest word to the young minister himself.  1 Timothy 6:1 , 1 Timothy 6:2  For Christian servants to take undue liberties because their employers are believers, is shameful, they ought rather to render them higher respect and more willing service.  1 Timothy 6:6  It makes us truly happy, by making our little into much and sweetening all the trials of life: “Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.”  1 Timothy 6:7 , 1 Timothy 6:8  Enough is as good as a feast, and frequently better, for it saves us from the ills of surfeit, the sure punishment of greediness.  1 Timothy 6:9 , 1 Timothy 6:10  Money can be used for the best of purposes, but the love of it is idolatry and t...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for December 7 Tozer in the Morning Heart-Matters It will probably be found at last that there is no sin except sin of the mind. It is the carnal mind that is enmity against God, that is not subject to the law of God, neither can be. It should, however, be remembered that when the Bible speaks of the mind it does not refer to the intellect alone. The whole personality is included in the concept; the bent of the will, the moral responses, the sympathies and antipathies are there also, as well as the intellect. When God saw the wickedness of man, that it was great in the earth, He saw what could not be seen from the outside, that, as it is rendered in one place, the whole imagination, with the purposes and desires of the heart was only evil continually (Genesis 6:5). From this passage alone we may properly gather that sin has its seat deep within the mind where it pollutes the emotions (desires), the intellect (imaginations) and the wil...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 7th December 2025 12/7 1 Peter 2:1 1 So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. The apostle Peter is telling us what should be the result of having been born again through the living and enduring Word of God. We should put away all malice. That is an effort that we make. We should forsake the anger and animosity we have toward anyone. We are to love one another. If in any way we deceive others, that deception should cease. Our heavenly Father cannot lie and neither should we. We must also put away hypocrisy lest we give an excuse for others not to believe. If we are struggling with an area of our life, we should find believers we can go to for prayer. Sin's power weakens when we bring it into the light. Envy is the sin of the tenth commandment, which is to covet what belongs to another. While we should desire the best gifts of the Spirit, we should not envy the gifts and positions that God has given to fellow belie...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for December 6 Tozer in the Morning Lovingly Truthful Here are some questions I recommend you ask yourself. In quiet silence ask, "Am I always truthful and honest? I claim to be a Christian, and I believe that the root of the matter is in me and the seed of God is in my heart. I believe I am the Lord"s child, but I am not satisfied with the frozen-over rut. Lord, help me to be honest while I answer. Am I always truthful on the telephone? Am I always honest with my creditors, with my employers, with my employees and in all social contracts and contacts?" Somebody may say, "What's the difference?" Dishonesty and shading of the truth are sins that grieve the Holy Spirit and bring on the winter. The winter of your discontent may be upon you, and like the life in a leafless tree, your life is buried within. You may have grieved the Holy Spirit by untruthfulness. One of the first things Christians have to do is beco...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for December 6 Morning “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Timothy 1 Hitherto we have only read portions from Paul’s letters to churches; we now turn to one of his four epistles to individual Christians. It was written to Timothy, who was very dear to the apostle as one of the most affectionate, faithful, and gifted of his spiritual children. 1 Timothy 1:3 , 1 Timothy 1:4 Jewish “teachers of the law” introduced into the churches a kind of mystic philosophy, made up of foolish legends, spiritualizings, and ascetical precepts, which Paul did not hesitate to call “old wives’ fables” and “profane babblings.” Timothy was stationed at Ephesus, to do battle with these mischief-makers, and to set the church in order. In these times there are tendencies to absurdities of the same kind, and we should be upon our guard against them. That which pretends to be wiser, deeper, or holier than the word of God must co...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for December 6 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you” (1 Peter 5:6) Opposition is essential to a true equilibrium of forces. The centripetal and centrifugal forces acting in opposition to each other keep our planet in her orbit. The one propelling, and the other repelling, so act and react, that instead of sweeping off into space in a pathway of desolation and destruction, she pursues her even orbit around her solar center. So God guides our lives. It is not enough to have an impelling force—we need just as much a repelling force, and so He holds us back by the testing ordeals of life, by the pressure of temptation and trial, by the things that seem to be against us, but really are furthering our way and stablishing our goings. Let us thank Him for both, let us take the weights as well as the wings, and thus divinely impelled, let us press on with faith and patience in our high and heavenly calling. Lord...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for December 6 “"Through," Not Engulfed ” - Isaiah 43:2 Bridge there is none: we must go through the waters and feel the rush of the rivers. The presence of God in the flood is better than a ferryboat. Tried we must be, but triumphant we shall be; for Jehovah Himself, who is mightier than many waters, shall be with us. Whenever else He may be away from His people, the LORD will surely be with them in difficulties and dangers. The sorrows of life may rise to an extraordinary height, but the LORD is equal to every occasion. The enemies of God can put in our way dangers of their own making, namely, persecutions and cruel mockings, which are like a burning, fiery furnace. What then? We shall walk through the fires. God being with us, we shall not be burned; nay, not even the smell of fire shall remain upon us. Oh, the wonderful security of the heaven-born and heaven-bound pilgrim! Floods cannot drown him, nor fi...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 6th December 2025 12/6 1 Peter 1:22 22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart. Peter is describing the life that has been transformed through Jesus' death and resurrection. He tells us this new life should be holy in all that we do. The cost of redemption was more than silver or gold. It was the precious blood of Christ. Knowing God loves us to such a great extent and paid such a high price, we are expected to live a life of real meaning and purpose. Our deeds will one day be judged. This is why we sincerely love one another. The life of Jesus in us is love. Our new heart has brotherly love for the family of God who has also been redeemed by the blood of Christ. But Peter is telling us to go even further and love others with God's love. That is an intense love that is willing to sacrifice for the ones you hold dear. This kind of love can only come from ...

 Worthy Brief - December 5, 2025 The bride made ready -- identity in covenant love! Revelation 19:7  Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready."  Ephesians 5:25-27  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,  26  that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27  that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.  Every journey of identity culminates in this: you are the Bride of Messiah. Not merely a servant, not merely a disciple, not merely a child — but a Bride being prepared for eternal union with the King. Revelation declares, “The bride has made herself ready,” and Paul reveals how: Messiah “loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify her… and present her to Himself...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for December 5 “High Places of Defense ” - Isaiah 33:16 The man to whom God has given grace to be of blameless life dwells in perfect security. He dwells on high, above the world, Out of gunshot of the enemy, and near to heaven. He has high aims and motives, and he finds high comforts and company. He rejoices in the mountains of eternal love, wherein he has his abode. He is defended by munitions of stupendous rock. The firmest things in the universe are the promises and purposes of the unchanging God, and these are the safeguard of the obedient believer. He is provided for by this great promise: "Bread shall be given him." As the enemy cannot climb the fort, nor break down the rampart, so the fortress cannot be captured by siege and famine. The LORD, who rained manna in the wilderness, will keep His people in good store even when they are surrounded by those who would starve them. But what if water should fa...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for December 5 “With a perfect heart to make David King” (1 Chronicles 12:38) “What is the supreme purpose of our life? They were all of one heart to make David king.” Is this our purpose, to prepare the Bride, to prepare the world, to prepare His way? Does it dwarf and dim all other ambitions, all other cares? Does it fill and satisfy every capacity, every power, every desire? Does it absorb every moment, every energy, every resource? Does it give direction and tone to every plan and work of life? Does it decide for us the education of our children, the investment of our means, the friendships and associations of life, the whole activity, interest and outlook of our being? Are we in it, spirit, soul and body, all we are, all we do, all we hope for—OF ONE HEART TO MAKE J ESUS K ING ? We’re going forth united With loyal heart and hand, To bear His royal banner Aboard o’er every land. From every tribe and nation We’ll haste His Bride to bring. And ...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for December 5 Tozer in the Morning Knowing Our Weakness and God's Power Moses was not a fluent man. His words spoken to God must be accepted as being a sincere and fair appraisal of the facts: "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue" (Exodus 4:10). The Lord did not try to cheer up His doubting servant by telling him that he had misjudged his ability. He allowed Moses' statement to stand unchallenged. But He said to Moses, "What about your brother Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well." God gave Aaron an "A" in speech. He was undoubtedly an eloquent man. Yet it was the halting Moses, not the fluent Aaron, who faced Pharaoh time after time in defense of Israel; it was Moses, not the eloquent Aaron, who wrote the brilliant and beautiful story of the creation; it was Moses who penned the Book of Deuteronomy, o...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for December 5 Morning “Let no man deceive you by any means.” 2 Thessalonians 2 Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians was misunderstood, and he therefore wrote them a second time. They had come to believe that the Lord would appear at once, whereas all that Paul had stated was, that the Lord would certainly come, that the time was unrevealed, and that, therefore, they should live in daily watchfulness. He here corrects their wrong impressions. 2 Thessalonians 2:3 , 2 Thessalonians 2:4 It is difficult to give this passage any other interpretation than the common one. The evil system of Popery was foreseen by the apostle, and it is every day developing itself. A few months ago the Pope claimed to be infallible, but long before he had been publicly adored, and spoken of as “our Lord God the Pope.” The Popish system teaches that the priest creates his Creator, and thus it sets the son of perdition above God himself. If...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 5th December 2025 12/5 James 5:9 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. James is addressing a problem in the church that has remained for two thousand years. Personalities and callings are bound to differ and often clash. People tend to see the more forceful person as the one who makes a greater case. That is why both parties in a conflict refuse to acknowledge that the other has prevailed. In reality, the spiritually mature person will humbly refuse to escalate the tension. This is not to say that there won't be times when one must take an inflexible stand. When it comes to sound doctrine regarding Jesus, we must not compromise, but we can take our stand graciously. When it comes to minor doctrines such as how we practice our faith and personal preferences, humility and gentleness are the fruits of the Spirit that need to be expressed. These are the fruits that maint...

 Worthy Brief - December 4, 2025 Destiny and eternal glory -- when we see Him, we become like Him! Colossians 3:4  When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.  1 John 3:2  Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.  Your identity is grounded in the present, but its fullness is revealed in the future. John writes, “Beloved, now we are children of God,” but also, “when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” Identity begins now, but destiny is unveiled then — at the moment you behold the Bridegroom in glory. Colossians echoes this truth: “When Yeshua (Jesus), who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” Your life is hidden with Him now, but one day it will be revealed in brilliance. Everything you have become in the secret place will shine o...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for December 4 Tozer in the Morning Man - The Dwelling Place of God - Some Thoughts on Books and Reading ONE BIG PROBLEM IN MANY PARTS of the world today is to learn how to read, and in others it is to find something to read after one has learned. In our favored West we are overwhelmed with printed matter, so the problem here becomes one of selection. We must decide what not to read. Nearly a century ago Emerson pointed out that if it were possible for a man to begin to read the day he was born and to go on reading without interruption for seventy years, at the end of that time he would have read only enough books to fill a tiny niche in the British Library. Life is so short and the books available to us are so many that no man can possibly be acquainted with more than a fraction of one percent of the books published. It hardly need be said that most of us are not selective enough in our reading. I have often wondered how many square ...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for December 4 “Covered and Protected ” - Psalms 91:4 A condescending simile indeed! Just as a hen protects her brood and allows them to nestle under her wings, so will the LORD defend His people and permit them to hide away in Him. Have we not seen the little chicks peeping out from under the mother’s feathers? Have we not heard their little cry of contented joy? In this way let us shelter ourselves in our God and feel overflowing peace in knowing that He is guarding us. While the LORD covers us, we trust. It would be strange if we did not. How can we distrust when Jehovah Himself becomes house and home, refuge and rest to us? This done, we go out to war in His name and enjoy the same guardian care. We need shield and buckler, and when we implicitly trust God, even as the chick trusts the hen, we find His truth arming us from head to foot. The LORD cannot lie; He must be faithful to His people; His promise must stand...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for December 4 “From me is thy fruit found” (Hosea 14:8) Nothing keeps us from advancement more than ruts and drifts, and wheel-tracks into which our chariots roll and then move on in the narrow line with unchanging monotony, currents in life’s stream on which we are borne in the old direction until the law of habit almost makes advance impossible. The true remedy for this is to commence at nothing; taking Christ afresh to be the Alpha and Omega for a deeper, higher, Divine experience, waiting even for His conception of thought, desire, prayer, and afraid lest our highest thought should be below His great plan of wisdom and love. O Comforter gentle and tender, O holy and heavenly Dove, We’re yielding our heart in surrender, We’re waiting Thy fulness to prove. O come as the heart-searching fire, O come as the sin-cleansing flood; Consume us with holy desire, And fill with the fulness of God. Anoint us with gladness and healing; Baptize us with pow...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for December 4 Morning “Walk worthy of God who hath called you.” 1 Thessalonians 2:1-16 This is the first of the apostles epistles, and was probably written by him from Corinth, when, having left Athens, he was joined by Silas and Timothy. Paul had founded the church at Thessalonica, and it had greatly flourished, but it had been subject to much persecution, hence he treats largely upon the second advent as affording the richest consolation to tried saints. The passage we shall read gives us a lovely picture of the apostles earnestness for the good of souls, and it furnishes us with a grand example of how we also in our measure should serve the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 2:3 , 1 Thessalonians 2:4 If the preacher of the word be not bold and truthful he cannot expect a blessing. A trustee of the gospel must be faithful to his charge. 1 Thessalonians 2:7 , 1 Thessalonians 2:8 Gentleness wins far more than severity. Many will ...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 4th December 2025 12/4 James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. If there is a formula for resisting the destructive power of evil, this is it. We begin by submitting yourselves to God. That means to surrender our hearts to God. We let go of our desires and make a conscious choice to let Him lead us. When we realize His will is the best thing for us, we should choose to obey. The next step is resisting the devil. That is what Eve failed to do in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:1-7). When the devil called God a liar, she should have told the devil that he is a liar and walked away. We best resist Satan when we employ the Word of God. Jesus showed us how to do that when He was tempted in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-10). Reminding ourselves of the truth of God's Word diminishes ...

 Worthy Brief - December 3, 2025 Transformed from glory to glory -- becoming what we behold! 2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.  You become like whatever you behold. Identity is not shaped by striving but by seeing -- by gazing upon the glory of Yeshua (Jesus). Paul writes that as we behold "the glory of the Lord," we are "being transformed into the same image from glory to glory." Identity begins with revelation, but it matures through beholding. Transformation is not self-improvement -- it is spiritual metamorphosis. Just as Moses' face shone when he encountered God on the mountain, your inner life shines when you behold the face of Yeshua. Beholding Him is not a moment; it is a posture. It is fixing your eyes on the One whose glory redefines your own. Every glimpse of His love transforms your heart....

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for December 3 “Thy thoughts are very deep” (Psalms 92:5) When a Roman soldier was told by his guide that if he insisted on taking a certain journey it would probably be fatal he answered, “It is necessary for me to go, it is not necessary for me to live.” That was depth. When we are convicted like that we shall come to something. The shallow nature lives in its impulses, its impressions, its intuitions, its instincts, and very largely in its surroundings. The profound character looks beyond all these and moves steadily on, sailing past all the storms and clouds into the clear sunshine which is always on the other side, and waiting for the afterwards which always brings the reversion of sorrow and seeming defeat and failure. When God has deepened us, then He can give us His deeper truths, His profoundest secrets, and His mightier trusts. Lord, lead me into the depths of Thy life and save me from a shallow experience. On to broader fields of holy ...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for December 3 Morning “Ye are complete in Him.” Colossians 2:8-23 The portion of scripture which we are about to read, ought to be well understood and earnestly observed by us, for it pleads for the purity and simplicity of the Christian faith, and deals heavy blows at those various additions of men which, under various pretences, are tagged on to the simple gospel. We need to standfast to the plain, simple, gospel of Jesus; for to adorn it is to deface it, to add to it is to dishonour it. Colossians 2:8 Pretendedly wise men would improve the gospel: as well might they dream of adding lustre to the sun or fulness to the ocean. Colossians 2:9 What then can we need more? How can his gospel be improved? Colossians 2:10-12 We have all things in Jesus, and want no Jewish or Popish rites: to all these we are dead and buried, our baptism teaches us Mat; and by faith we are risen from all dead formalities into a new spiritua...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for December 3 Tozer in the Morning THE WORLDLY "VIRUS" As Christian believers, we must stand together against some things. So, if you hear anyone saying that A.W. Tozer preaches a good deal that is negative, just smile and agree: "That is because he preaches the Bible!" Here are some of the things we oppose: we are against the many modern idols that have been allowed to creep into the churches; we are against the "unauthorized fire" that is being offered on the altars of the Lord; we are against the modern gods that are being adopted in our sanctuaries. We are against the world's ways and its false values. We are against the world's follies and its vain pleasures. We are against this world's greed and sinful ambitions. We are against this world's vices and its carnal habits. We believe this spells out clearly the Bible truth of separation. God asks us to stand boldly against anything or anyon...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for December 3 “Peace Whatever Exposure ” - Ezekiel 34:25 It is the height of grace that Jehovah should be in covenant with man, a I feeble, sinful, and dying creature. Yet the LORD has solemnly entered into a faithful compact with us, and from that covenant He will never turn aside. In virtue of this covenant we are safe. As lions and wolves are driven off by shepherds, so shall all noxious influences be chased away. The LORD will give us rest from disturbers and destroyers; the evil beasts shall cease out of the land. O LORD, make this Thy promise good even now! The LORD’s people are to enjoy security in places of the greatest exposure: wilderness and woods are to be as pastures and folds to the flock of Christ. If the LORD does not change the place for the better, He will make us the better in the place. The wilderness is not a place to dwell in, but the LORD can make it so; in the woods one feels hound to watch ra...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 3rd December 2025 12/3 James 4:4 4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Throughout the Old Testament God compared His people's worship of idols to adultery. We are to love God with our whole heart. Any love that competes for the place of God's love in our heart--or that we credit with the ability to truly satisfy us--is spiritual adultery. A married man or woman may not have a physical relationship with another person other than his or her spouse, but when he or she dreams of how another person would make a better spouse and longs to be with that person, their longings are spiritual adultery. The word "world" in this verse represents the things that tempt us to turn from God to satisfactions apart from Him.
