Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: June 22nd

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: June 22nd Morning “Christ also suffered for us.” Jonah 1:8-16 Jonah 1:8 Then said the mariners Jonah 1:8 Jonah Jonah 1:8 They put him to the question, and did not condemn him without a hearing. There was more justice among these heathen sailors than we often find among professed Christians, who will judge by appearances and condemn in haste. Jonah 1:9 He spoke out like an honest man, as he was. He owned that his occupation was the fear of the Lord, and he hesitated not to claim for his God supremacy over all the Babel of gods to whom they had been praying. He was ashamed of himself, but not of his religion. Jonah 1:10 They knew what he had done, but they asked his motive for so doing. What could have induced him to flee from one who had made the sea and the dry land, and could therefore overtake him in his flight, wherever he might go? Jonah 1:11 They were loth to lift up their hands against him; they dreaded to inju...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 22

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 22 Tozer in the Morning Are We? The truth is, dedication of the life to any thing or anyone short of God Himself, is a prostitution of noble powers and must bring a harvest of grief and disappointment at last. Only God is worthy of the soul He has made in His own image. To devote our lives to any cause, however worthy, is to sell ourselves short. Not money, position, fame, can justly claim our devotion. Art, literature, music also fall short. And, if God is forgotten, even the loftiest and most unselfish task is unworthy of the souls full surrender. Complete dedication unto death in the cause of freedom, for instance, is a touching thing and has given to history many of her greatest heroes, but only the God of freedom should have our last full measure of devotion. These are strenuous times and men are being recruited everywhere to devote themselves to one or another master. Let us be careful. No one has any true right to clai...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 22

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 22 “This is that bread which came down from heaven” (John 6:58) We had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead; who delivereth us from so great a death, who doth deliver; in whom we trust that He will yet deliver us. This was the supernatural secret of Paul’s life; he drew continually in his body from the strength of Christ, his Risen Head. The body which rose from Joseph’s tomb was to him a physical reality and the inexhaustible fountain of his vital forces. More than any other he has imparted to us the secret of His strength; “We are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones”; “The Lord is for the body and the body is for the Lord.” Marvelous truth! Divine Elixir of Life and Fountain of Perpetual Youth! Earnest of the Resurrection! Fulfilment of the ancient psalms and songs of faith! “The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? My flesh and...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 22

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 22 “He with Us; We with Him ”  - Proverbs 10:27 There is no doubt about it. The fear of the LORD leads to virtuous habits, and these prevent that waste of life which comes of sin and vice. The holy rest which springs out of faith in the LORD Jesus also greatly helps a man when he is ill. Every physician rejoices to have a patient whose mind is fully at ease. Worry kills, but confidence in God is like healing medicine.  We have therefore all the arrangements for long life, and if it be really for our good, we shall see a good old age and come to our graves as shocks of corn in their season. Let us not be overcome with sudden expectation of death the moment we have a finger-ache, but let us rather expect that we may have to work on through a considerable length of days.  And what if we should soon be called to the higher sphere? Certainly there would be nothing to deplore in such a summons but everything to re...

Worthy Brief - June 22, 2026

 Worthy Brief - June 22, 2026 Ashrei: the blessed life!  Psalms 1:1-3  Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3  He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. As we continue to explore the Kingdom and the implications of Kingdom life, I want to begin this new series on the Sermon on the Mount with a single word -- because sometimes one word changes everything. Before we take a deeper look at Yeshua’s (Jesus’) primary message and the life of the Kingdom He came to reveal, we must first understand its Hebraic roots. Long before Yeshua taught on the mountain, the foundation for understanding the blessed life had already been laid in the Psalms. That foundation ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devoional 22nd June 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devoional 22nd June 2026 June 22 1 Kings 18:21 21 Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing. Elijah had Ahab meet him on Mount Carmel with 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah. The people of Israel gathered to watch the showdown. After three and a half years without rain, did they still believe Baal could bring the blessing of rain? He asked them point blank, but they did not answer him. What would it take? What will it take today, as we see the weather plaguing us instead of blessing us? How long will the people of the world look to the god of science? How long will we waver between two opinions? People do not want to believe in God because they intrinsically realize that if He is real He is worthy of our worship. If He is our Creator, then we owe all to Him. God was wooing Israel back to Himself with a ch...
