Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 31st

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 31st Morning “Through Him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.” Acts 11:1-4 , Acts 11:18-30 Peter had baptized the Gentile household of Cornelius, and so novel an action could not pass unnoticed: the report soon reached the apostles at Jerusalem, and Peter was called upon to explain; he did so, and all were satisfied, and rejoiced in what the Lord had done. Acts 11:1-3 It would seem that a number of Jewish Christians attached an undue importance to circumcision, and made a kind of party in the church. The Holy Spirit does not conceal the faults and mistakes of good men; no histories and biographies are so impartial as those written by inspiration. Peter was no pope, for the common disciples called him to account; but he did not become angry, or claim to be infallible. Acts 11:4 See here a beautiful example of humility and patience. Peter had been directed by the Lord in what he did, and the act itself was m...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for October 31 Tozer in the Morning The Divine Illuminator To know God in the scriptural meaning of the term is to enter into experience of Him. It never means to know about. It is not a knowledge mediated by the intellect, but an unmediated awareness experienced by the soul on a plane too high for the mind to reach. Where then is the place of the intellect in Christian experience? And why waste time thinking when we know beforehand that thought cannot bring us to the knowledge that is most of all to be desired, the knowledge of God? The answer is that the whole biblical revelation is addressed to the intellect and through the intellect reaches the will, the seat of the moral life; if the will responds in repentance and obedience, the Holy Spirit illuminates the penitent heart and reveals Christ, the image of God, to it. What began as an appeal to reason (Isaiah 1:18) ends in a spiritual experience wholly above reason Tozer in the Eve...

Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 31

 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 31 “My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9) God allowed the crisis to close around Jacob on the night when he bowed at Peniel in supplication to bring him to the place where he could take hold of God as he never would have done; and from that narrow pass of peril Jacob came enlarged in his faith and knowledge of God, and in the power of a new and victorious life. He had to compel David, by a long and painful discipline of years, to learn the almighty power and faithfulness of his God, and to grow up into the established principles of faith and godliness, which were indispensable for his subsequent and glorious career as the king of Israel. Nothing but the extremities in which Paul was constantly placed could ever have taught him, and taught the church through him, the full meaning of the great promise he so learned to claim, “My grace is sufficient for thee.” And nothing but...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 31 “Immortal Till Work Done ”  - Psalms 118:17 A fair assurance this! It was no doubt based upon a promise, inwardly whispered in the psalmist’s heart, which he seized upon and enjoyed. Is my case like that of David? Am I depressed because the enemy affronts me? Are there multitudes against me and few on my side? Does unbelief bid me lie down and die in despair-a defeated, dishonored man? Do my enemies begin to dig my grave?  What then? Shall I yield to the whisper of fear, and give up the battle, and with it give up all hope? Far from it. There is life in me yet: "I shall not die." Vigor will return and remove my weakness: "I shall live." The LORD lives, and I shall live also. My mouth shall again be opened: "I shall declare the works of Jehovah." Yes, and I shall speak of the present trouble as another instance of the wonder-working faithfulness and love of the LORD my God. ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st October 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 31st October 2026 October 31 Psalms 127:1-2 1Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. 2In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat- for he grants sleep to those he loves. One of the most repeated messages in the Bible is our helplessness without God. I can build a dwelling. I can create a family. But if God is not in it, all my work is without meaning. It is utterly unproductive. Man has the idea that if he relies on himself, he will surely get things done. The Gospel message tells us that without the LORD we will accomplish nothing (John 15:5). We can't even protect ourselves. Unless God is watching over us, we are clear targets for the enemy of our soul. Consider the infant in the manger. If God were not watching over that helpless baby, what chance would he have had of surviving Herod's extermination of every infant in the area? ...

Worthy Brief - October 30, 2026

 Worthy Brief - October 30, 2026  Mercy in the middle of conflict!  Luke 22:50-51 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his ear and healed him. In our last devotion, “When Hearing Becomes Mercy,” we saw through the story of the sheep and the goats that mercy is more than a belief—it shows up in how we treat others. Now, Gethsemane challenges us even more. Showing mercy is easier when things are peaceful, but it’s much harder when things get tense. Even the name Gethsemane tells us something important. It comes from the Hebrew gat shemanim (גַּת שְׁמָנִים), meaning oil press, a place where olives are crushed until oil flows out. That night, Yeshua (Jesus) felt the weight of pressure. He had already been betrayed, armed men were all around Him, and tension was high. Then, one of His disciples struck out with a sword and cut off the high priest’s servant’s ear. In th...

G-d's Minute 30th October 2026

  G-d's Minute 30th October 2026  AND BY THE ALMIGHTY WHO WILL BLESS YOU WITH  BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN ABOVE.                       ( GENESIS 49:25 * NKJV )      God's many blessings continue to please us, so we  should do our best to please God as well!      We do that by obeying His Commandments and by  loving our neighbors as ourselves.  For our Savior Jesus  Christ said, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD   WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH   WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR    MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF.  ( LUKE 10:27 )  THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREATEST   COMMANDMENT.  AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT:        'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’     ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE     LAW AND THE PROPHETS."  ( MATTH...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th October 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 30th October 2026 October 30 Psalms 119:67, 71 67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word. 71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. There are times when we need affliction, be it physical, mental, or emotional. If it is indeed good for us, as the psalmist here declares, we should be careful not to ask to be delivered from it too soon. We are to pray for the healing of one another, yet we need to discern God's timing for that healing. Some would consider all afflictions the work of Satan that must be rebuked and immediately healed. There are times when Jesus healed all, that is, all that came to Him (Luke 6:19). There are other times when He walked through a crowd of sick folks to pick out one person who was to be healed (John 5:3). When we are afflicted we should look for a lesson to be learned or an insight to be gained. We learned from Job that even though Satan may bring the affliction, God us...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 30th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 30th Morning “What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.” We have now to read a chapter peculiarly interesting to us Gentiles, because it shows how the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles, which our Lord broke down by his death, was in due time practically removed by the calling of a Gentile household to the faith of Jesus. Before this time only Jews, proselytes, and Samaritans, all branches of the older family, had been converted, but now a Roman captain and his house were to be saved. Acts 10:1-23 Acts 10:4 Yet something more was wanted, and he must send for one who would tell him of Jesus, the Saviour. Acts 10:7 , Acts 10:8 The tanner’s trade was greatly despised, but this did not prejudice the centurion. Better to learn the way of God from one who lodged with a poor tanner than remain in ignorance. Meanwhile God was preparing Peter to comply with the centurion’s request. Acts 10:9-14 The same P...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for October 30 Tozer in the Morning THE HUMBLE PLACE I have met two classes of Christians; the proud who imagine they are humble, and the humble who are afraid they are proud! There should be another class: the self-forgetful men and women who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest. The truly humble person does not expect to find virtue in himself, and when he finds none he is not disappointed. He knows that any good deed he may do is the result of God's working within him. When this belief becomes so much a part of any man or woman that it operates as a kind of unconscious reflex, he or she is released from the burden of trying to live up to the opinion they hold of themselves. They can relax and count upon the Holy Spirit to fulfill the moral law within them. Let us never forget that the promises of God are made to the h...

Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 30

 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 30 “Dwell deep” (Jeremiah 49:8) God’s presence blends with every other thought and consciousness, flowing sweetly and evenly through our business plans, our social converse our heart’s affections, our manual toil, our entire life, blending with all, consecrating all, and conscious through all, like the fragrance of a flower, or the presence of a friend consciously near, and yet not hindering in the least the most intense and constant preoccupation of the hands and brain. How beautiful the established habit of this unceasing communion and dependence, amid and above all thoughts and occupations! How lovely to see a dear old saint folding away his books at night and humbly saying, “Lord Jesus, things are still just the same between us,” and the falling asleep in His keeping. So let us be stayed upon Him. Let us grow into Him with all the root and fibers of our being. He will not get tired of our friendship. He will not want to put us o...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 30 “Thorough Cleansing ”  - Ezekiel 36:25 What an exceeding joy is this! He who has purified us with the blood of Jesus will also cleanse us by the water of the Holy Spirit. God hath said it, and so it must be, "Ye shall be clean." LORD, we feel and mourn our uncleanness, and it is cheering to be assured by Thine own mouth that we shall be clean. Oh, that Thou wouldst make a speedy work of it!  He will deliver us from our worst sins. The uprisings of unbelief and the deceitful lusts which war against the soul, the vile thoughts of pride, and the suggestions of Satan to blaspheme the sacred name-all these shall be so purged away as never to return.  He will also cleanse us from all our idols, whether of gold or of clay: our impure loves and our excessive love of that which in itself is pure. That which we have idolized shall either be broken from us or we shall be broken off from it.  It is God wh...

Worthy Brief - October 29, 2026

 Worthy Brief - October 29, 2026  When hearing becomes mercy!  Matthew 25:34-36, 40 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' 40 And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' In our last devotion, "Ephphatha - Be opened," Yeshua (Jesus) opened a man's ears and loosed his tongue. He opens our ears so that His voice can shape our lives. Today, let's examine the parable of the sheep and the goats and see what a life shaped by that looks like. What we hear from the King is made manifest in the way we treat people. Yeshua speak...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th October 202

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 29th October 2026 October 29 Psalms 119:9-11 9How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. 10I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. 11I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in our Bible. It is believed to have been written by Ezra during the restoration period, when the Jews returned to Israel from Babylon. The entire psalm is about the Word of God. Each section is entitled with a Hebrew letter, and each verse in that section begins with that letter. Every verse mentions the Word of God in some form. Ezra asks how it is possible for young men to keep their way pure. Youth are changing physically and have little experience to know how to deal with those changes. The world today is of no help. It encourages them to sin against God and not consider it wrong to do so. What would your advice be to young men who wanted to serve God in...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 29th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 29th Morning “Behold he prayeth.” Acts 9:1-22 Acts 9:1 , Acts 9:2 His very breath was threatening; all Judea was not a large enough hunting ground for him. What a rebel he was! What a saint he became! How mighty is divine grace! Acts 9:5 What surprise filled the soul of Saul when he perceived that the Nazarene whom he had hated was really divine. Little had he dreamed of persecuting the Son of God, he thought he was crushing out a troublesome imposture. O Lord, open the eyes of any other sincere bigot who may be persecuting thy cause without knowing it to be thine! Acts 9:6 He rises a changed man, he has seen the Lord and is conquered; he has become the willing servant of Jesus whom he persecuted. His hectoring has ended, his submission is complete. Acts 9:7-9 And no wonder. The light had blinded him, and the revelation from heaven so possessed him that he forgot everything else. Acts 9:10-14 Do we wonder that the good m...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for October 29 Tozer in the Morning MORE THAN PARDON It is a fact that the New Testament message of good news, "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures," embraces a great deal more than an offer of free pardon. Surely it is a message of pardon-and for that may God be praised-but it is also a message of repentance! It is a message of atonement-but it is also a message of temperance and righteousness and godliness in this present world! It tells us that we must accept a Savior-but it tells us also that we must deny ungodliness and worldly lusts! The gospel message includes the idea of amendment-of separation from the world, of cross-carrying and loyalty to the kingdom of God even unto death! These are all corollaries of the gospel and not the gospel itself; but they are part and parcel of the total message which we are commissioned to declare. No man has authority to divide the truth and preach only a part of it. To d...

Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 29

 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 29 “Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it you” (John 16:23) Two men go to the bank cashier, both holding in their hands a piece of paper. One is dressed in expensive style, and presents a gloved and jeweled hand; the other is a rough, unwashed workman. The first is rejected with a polite sentence, and the second receives a thousand dollars over the counter. What is the difference? The one presented a worthless name; the other handed in a note endorsed by the president of the bank. And so the most virtuous moralist will be turned away from the gates of mercy, and the vilest sinner welcomed in if he presents the name of Jesus. What shall we give to infinite purity and righteousness? Jesus! No other gift is worthy for God to receive. And He has given Him to us for this very end, to give back as our substitute and satisfaction. And He has “testified” of this gift what He has of no other, namely, that in Him He i...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 29 “Maintain the Difference ”  - Exodus 8:23 Pharaoh has a people, and the LORD has a people. These may dwell together and seem to fare alike, but there is a division between them, and the LORD will make it apparent. Not forever shall one event happen alike to all, but there shall be great difference between the men of the world and the people of Jehovah’s choice.  This may happen in the time of judgments, when the LORD becomes the sanctuary of His saints. It is very conspicuous in the conversion of believers when their sin is put away, while unbelievers remain under condemnation. From that moment they become a distinct race, come under a new discipline, and enjoy new blessings. Their homes, henceforth, are free from the grievous swarms of evils which defile and torment the Egyptians. They are kept from the pollution of lust, the bite of care, the corruption of falsehood, and the cruel torment of hatred, w...
