Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 31st

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 31st Morning “He marvelled because of their unbelief.” Matthew 13:31-33 , Matthew 13:44-58 Our loving Lord has left us many priceless parables, in which great truths are made plain to our understandings. He deserves our love for thus condescending to our dulness. Matthew 13:31 , Matthew 13:32 Mustard of this kind is common in Palestine. Nothing at its commencement could be smaller, or less conspicuous, than the church of Christ; nothing in the end shall be so great and honourable. Already many happy souls, like birds, are resting in its branches. Matthew 13:33 Silently, mysteriously, and potently it works, and so do good or evil influences in society. Matthew 13:45 , Matthew 13:46 The first man is the suddenly converted sinner, who finds Jesus, though he looked not for him; the second is the diligent seeker, who at last discovers Jesus for whom he had sought. They both agree in setting the highest value upon t...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 31

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 31 “Lead me in the way everlasting” (Psalms 139:24) There is often apparently but little difference in two distinct lives between constant victory and frequent victory. But that one little difference constitutes a world of success or failure. The one is the Divine, the other is the human; the one is the everlasting way, the other the transient and the imperfect. God wants to lead us to the way everlasting, and to establish us and make us immovable as He. We little know the seriousness of the slightest surrender. It is but the first step in a downward progression, and God only knows where it shall end. Let us be “not of them that draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe unto the saving our the soul.” Your victory to-day is but preparing the way for a greater victory to-morrow, and your surrender to-day is opening the door for a more terrible defeat in the days to come. Let us, therefore, whatever we have claimed from our bless...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 31

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 31 “Divine, Ever-Living, Unchanging ” - 1 Peter 1:25 All human teaching and, indeed, all human beings shall pass away as the grass of the meadow; but we are here assured that the Word of the LORD is of a very different character, for it shall endure forever. We have here a divine gospel; for what word can endure forever but that which is spoken by the eternal God? We have here an ever-living gospel, as full of vitality as when it first came from the lips of God; as strong to convince and convert, to regenerate and console, to sustain and sanctify as ever it was in its first days of wonder-working. We have an unchanging gospel which is not today green grass and tomorrow dry hay but always the abiding truth of the immutable Jehovah. Opinions alter, but truth certified by God can no more change than the God who uttered it. Here, then, we have a gospel to rejoice in, a word of the LORD upon which we may lean al...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 31 Tozer in the Morning GLORIOUS CONTRADICTIONS God has revealed so many glorious contradictions in the lives and conduct of genuine Christian believers that it is small wonder that we are such an amazement to this world. The Christian is dead and yet he lives forever. He died to himself and yet he lives in Christ. The Christian saves his own life by losing it and he is in danger of losing it by trying to save it. It is strange but true that the Christian is strongest when he is weakest and weakest when he is strongest. When he gets down on his knees thinking he is weak, he is always strong. The Christian is in least danger when he is fearful and trusting God and in the most danger when he feels the most self-confident. He is most sinless when he feels the most sinful and he is the most sinful when he feels the most sinless. The Christian actually has the most when he is giving away the most; and in all of these ways, the C...

Worthy Brief - August 31, 2026

 Worthy Brief - August 31, 2026 You were made for the narrow way! Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Deuteronomy 30:19  I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;  At this point in the Sermon on the Mount, Yeshua (Jesus) asks us to choose. He has already shown us what life in the Kingdom involves: humility, mercy, purity, forgiveness, quiet devotion, trust in the Father, freedom from greed, and a love which treats others with God's own heart. Now He makes it clear that we cannot merely admire this way of life from a distance. We have to step into it, choose it, and walk it. In the Hebraic view, life was not simply a ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st August 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st August 2026 August 31 Ezra 10:10-12 10Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, "You have been unfaithful; you have married foreign women, adding to Israel's guilt. 11Now make confession to the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the peoples around you and from your foreign wives." 12The whole assembly responded with a loud voice: "You are right! We must do as you say. When Ezra had heard how the remnant had broken God's law by marrying the pagan women of the land, he tore his robes and wept and fasted. The people followed his lead and were convicted of sin. It was the people who encouraged him to tell them what to do to set things right with God. Ezra replied with the verses above; confess and do God's will. Separate yourselves from the people and wives who had those horrible demonic religious practices. We do not live in Israel and were never forbidden to marry a certain group ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 30th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 30th Morning “My word shall not return unto Me void.” Matthew 13:1-23 Matthew 13:1 , Matthew 13:2 A most delightful instance of out-of-door preaching, of which the more the better, for without it great numbers of our fellowmen will never hear the gospel. The natural objects around him no doubt supplied the Lord with his illustrations, and these were so homely and full of meaning, that they arrested the attention of all. Matthew 13:3 , Matthew 13:4 the way side on the trodden pathway Matthew 13:5 , Matthew 13:6 Some fell upon stony places or spots where the rock was near the surface Matthew 13:11 Carnal minds foolishly put a literal meaning upon expressions which are evidently figurative, and so discern not the meaning. To understand the gospel is a gift of divine grace. Matthew 13:12-15 Those who will not see may expect to fall into such a state that they cannot see. Matthew 13:23 Four bad soils are mentioned,...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 30

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 30 Tozer in the Morning Personal Commitment to Growth There comes a time when the true believer must take his stand on the oath and covenant of God and refuse to be shaken. He must lift high his happy affirmation, not in arrogance, but in faith and in deep humility. Perhaps his declaration of independence will go something like this: I am not yet perfect, but I thank God and my Lord Jesus Christ that I am done with the past and I do now trust in my Savior for full deliverance from all my sins. I cannot pray like Daniel, but I shall never cease to praise God that He inclines His ear to me. I am not as wise as Solomon, but I glory in this, that "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day" (2 Timothy 1:12). I have not the gifts of Moses or Isaiah or John, but I'll be everlastingly grateful that I have been given the moral perception to understand a...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 30

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 30 “Solace, Security, Satisfaction ” - 2 Samuel 23:5 This is not so much one promise as an aggregate of promises -- a box of pearls. the covenant is the ark which contains all things. These are the last words of David, but they may be mine today. Here is a sigh: things are not with me and mine as I could wish; there are trials, cares, and sins. These make the pillow hard. Here is a solace -- "He hath made with me an everlasting covenant." Jehovah has pledged Himself to me, and sealed the compact with the blood of Jesus. I am bound to my God and my God to me. This brings into prominence a security, since this covenant is everlasting, well ordered, and sure. There is nothing to fear from the lapse of time, the failure of some forgotten point, or the natural uncertainty of things. The covenant is a rocky foundation to build on for life or for death. David feels satisfaction: he wants no more for salv...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 30

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 30 “Happy are ye if ye do them” (John 13:17) You little know the rest that comes from the yielded will, the surrendered choice, the abandoned world, the meek and lowly heart that lets the world go by, and knows that it shall inherit the earth which it has refused! You little know the relish that it gives to the blessing to hunger and thirst after righteousness, and to be filled with a satisfaction that worldly delight cannot afford, and then to rise to the higher blessedness of the merciful, the forgiving, the hearts that have learned that it is “more blessed to give than to receive,” and the lives that find that “letting go is twice possessing,” and blessing others is to be doubly blessed! Nay, there is yet one jewel brighter than all the rest in this crown of beatitudes. It is the tear-drop crystallized into the diamond, the blood-drop transfigured into the ruby of heaven’s eternal crown. It is the joy of suffering with Jesus, and th...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th August 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th August 2026 August 30 Ezra 8:21-23 21There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. 22I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him." 23So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer. When Ezra had gathered everyone for the journey, he proclaimed a fast. It was a time to humbly ask the LORD for His protection. He could have asked for armed guards, but he had already told the king that the gracious hand of God was on everyone who looks to Him. It would not be much of a testimony to turn around and ask for the strength of man after trying to share that with the king. Do we think like this? Do ...

 G-d's Minute 30th August 2026   BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK.  IF ANYONE  HEARS MY VOICE AND OPENS THE DOOR, I WILL COME IN  TO HIM AND DINE WITH HIM, AND HE WITH ME.                       ( REVELATION 3:20 *NKJV )      Jesus is knocking on the door of our heart every time  that we feel moved to go to Church, or to study the Word  of God etc.  For when Jesus knocks we automatically  sense that we should turn to Him.      Now when we open the door of our hearts to Him, He  promises, I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART AND PUT MY  SPIRIT WITHIN YOU; I WILL TAKE THE HEART OF STONE  OUT OF YOUR FLESH, AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH.    ( EZEKIEL 36:26 )      So, don't let problems stop you from opening the  door of your heart all the way, and always keep it open!    For then you will never miss Jes...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 29th Morning “The tree is known by its fruit.” Matthew 12:22-37 Matthew 12:22 It would seem that the devil had special licence to do his worst among men during the days of our Lord’s sojourn upon earth. Thus was he the more gloriously defeated by the Son of God in many pitched battles between the two champions. Matthew 12:23 They spoke honestly, but their leaders were prejudiced, and refused to see what was clear enough to the most ordinary understandings. It is a dreadful thing to be so warped by. education as to refuse to admit what is plain to all. Matthew 12:27-29 For some of the sons of the Pharisees pretended to be able to heal possessed persons. Matthew 12:30 Let this always be remembered, and let each one ask himself, “Am I with Christ?” If not, remember you are against him. Can you bear this? Matthew 12:31 , Matthew 12:32 A terrible doom which fell upon these Pharisees and destroyed them. How careful ...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 29

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 29 “To obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22) Our healing is thus represented as a special recompense for obedience. If, therefore, we would please the Lord and have the reward of those who please Him, there is no service so acceptable to Him as our praise. Let us ever meet Him with a glad and thankful heart and He will reflect it back in the health of our countenance and the buoyant life and springing health, which is but the echo of a joyful heart. Further, thankfulness is the best preparation for faith. Trust grows spontaneously in the praiseful heart. Thankfulness takes the sunny side of the street and looks at the bright side of God, and it is only thus that we can ever trust Him. Unbelief looks at our troubles and, of course, they seem like mountains, and faith is discouraged by the prospect. A thankful disposition will always find some cause for cheer, and gloomy one will find a cloud in the brightest sky and a fly in t...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 29

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 29 Tozer in the Morning Pursuing Truth One of the great religious thinkers of this century has pointed out a strange contradiction in the mental attitude of our times--our eager love of knowledge and our universal neglect of truth. That men love knowledge is too well demonstrated to need proof, if by knowledge we mean facts, know-how, statistics, technical information, scientific and mechanical skills. Our printing presses are constantly rolling out books crammed with useful information. Our schools are bulging with eager students bent on acquiring all possible knowledge in the shortest possible time. Among the most popular and lucrative radio programs on the air today are those designed to discover how many unrelated bits of information the participants possess. "Who? What? When? Where?" run the endless questions, and the impression is created that the one who can answer the greatest number is in some way a superior ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 29

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 29 “Plentiful Refreshment ” - Jeremiah 31:12 Oh, to have one’s soul under heavenly cultivation; no longer a wilderness but a garden of the LORD! Enclosed from the waste, walled around by grace, planted by instruction, visited by love, weeded by heavenly discipline, and guarded by divine power, one’s favored soul is prepared to yield fruit unto the LORD. But a garden may become parched for want of water, and then all its herbs decline and are ready to die. O my soul, how soon would this be the case were the LORD to leave thee! In the East, a garden without water soon ceases to be a garden at all: nothing can come to perfection, grow, or even live. When irrigation is kept up, the result is charming. Oh, to have one’s soul watered by the Holy Spirit uniformly -- every part of the garden having its own stream; plentifully -- a sufficient refreshment coming to every tree and herb, however thirsty by nature it ma...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th August 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th August 2026 August 29 Ezra 7:9-10 9He had begun his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, and he arrived in Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, for the gracious hand of his God was on him. 10For Ezra had devoted himself to the study and observance of the Law of the LORD, and to teaching its decrees and laws in Israel. Three times in Ezra chapter 7 we have the expression, "the gracious hand of his God was on him". He did certain things because of God's hand upon him. He had favor with the king and was given whatever he asked for because the gracious hand of God was upon him. He was on his way with more exiles and finances and sacrifices to assist in the rebuilding of Jerusalem and to offer the sacrifices the king had sent. Ezra must have made some kind of impression on the king, but I think he would say that this came about because the gracious hand of his God was upon him. Of course, God has no physical ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 28th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 28th Morning “All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me.” Matthew 11:20-30 The remarkable portion of Scripture which we are about to read contains in a small space the three great truths of human responsibility, the sovereignty of electing love, and the free proclamation of the gospel. If we cannot reconcile them, we must, nevertheless, believe them, and wait for clearer light. Matthew 11:20 Therefore it is clear that they ought to have repented. Jesus would not have upbraided them for impenitence, if penitence were not their duty. Matthew 11:21 A very mysterious statement, since it involves the singular fact that the mighty works were not done among those who would have repented, and were done among those who refused to repent. The way of the Lord is far above the comprehension of men. Matthew 11:22 Though as to open sin the Sidonians were beyond measure vile, yet they were not so guilty as those who had...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 28

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 28 “Out of Any Circumstance ” - Psalms 55:16 Yes, I must and will pray. What else can I do! What better can I do? Betrayed, forsaken, grieved, baffled, O my LORD, I will call upon Thee. My Ziklag is in ashes, and men speak of stoning me; but I encourage my heart in the LORD, who will bear me through this trial as He has borne me through so many others. Jehovah shall save me; I am sure He will, and I declare my faith. The LORD and no one else shall save me. I desire no other helper and would not trust in an arm of flesh even if I could. I will cry to Him evening, and morning, and noon, and I will cry to no one else, for He is all sufficient. How He will save me I cannot guess; but He will do it, I know. He will do it in the best and surest way, and He will do it in the largest, truest, and fullest sense. Out of this trouble and all future troubles the great I AM will bring me as surely as He lives; and when ...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 28

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 28 “According to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20) When we reach the place of union with God, through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, we come into the inheritance of external blessing and enter upon the land of our possession. Then our physical health and strength come to us through the power of our interior life; then the prayer is fulfilled, that we shall be in health and prosper, as our soul prospereth. Then, with the kingdom of God and His righteousness within us, all things are added unto us. God’s external working always keeps pace with the power that worketh in us. When God is enthroned in a human soul, then the devil and the world soon find it out. We do not need to advertise our power. Jesus could not be hid, and a soul filled with Divine power and purity should become the center of attraction to hungry hearts and suffering lives. Let us receive Him and recognize Him in His indwelling glory, and then will we app...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 28

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for August 28 Tozer in the Morning Stumble Causers When we are first converted, especially if we come from a non-Christian background, we are likely to be almost too naive for our own good. The wondrous experience through which we have just passed, or perhaps I should say into which we have entered, has predisposed us to believe in everybody. Our trust in other Christians is likely to be boundless. That there could be hypocrites, double-minded professors, religious pretenders, carnal camp followers, never once enters our minds. The result is that our first encounter with a worldly church member comes as a frightful shock to our sensitive minds. Some never recover from this shattering of their confidence. They become religious cripples. Their growth is stunted and their usefulness destroyed, or at the least greatly hindered from that moment on. That I speak truly here may be proved by everyday experience; but there is a more sure word ...

Christian Quote of the Day - The Christian Life

 Christian Quote of the Day - The Christian Life We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about. — R. C. Sproul (1939-2017) https://christianquote.com

Worthy Brief - August 28, 2026

 Worthy Brief - August 28, 2026 You were made to treat others with Kingdom mercy! Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. This is one of the most memorable statements in the Sermon on the Mount. Although it is often called the Golden Rule, it goes beyond a good moral principle; it is practical Kingdom life, expressing the Father's heart in how we treat the person before us. Look at how much authority this sentence has in understanding the Tanach (Old Testament). After Yeshua (Jesus) has spoken on judging fairly, caring for what is holy, and trusting the Father who bestows good gifts, Yeshua brings these teachings together in one statement that His disciples can apply to every relationship, conversation, and decision. Treat others as you would like them to treat you. That, He says, is what the Law and the Prophets amount to. He takes all that He has taught and directs it towards external action by saying that...
