Worthy Brief - February 5, 2026

 Worthy Brief - February 5, 2026 Learn the lesssons of the cloud and the sea!  1 Corinthians 10:2  all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,  After seeing God’s presence in the cloud and His power in the sea, Paul now brings us to the meaning of those experiences. He says Israel was baptized in both. That word is intentional. Baptism is never merely symbolic -- it speaks of identification, burial, and emergence into a new life. God was not only delivering a people; He was initiating a process meant to permanently change who they were. Being baptized in the cloud and in the sea means God was working both around them and within them at the same time. The cloud surrounded them with God’s nearness and direction, while passing through the sea marked a decisive break with the old life. Together, these were not separate moments but one divine act: God bringing a people out and remaking them into something new. Baptism always involves death before resurrectio...

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for February 5

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional for February 5 Morning  “I know that Thou canst do everything.”  Job 42:1-13  Job 42:1 , Job 42:2  The patriarch made an unreserved submission. He felt that the very idea of judging the conduct of the Almighty was preposterous. Omnipotence and Omniscience render the thought of calling the Eternal into question superlatively ridiculous.  Job 42:3  That first question of the Lord abides in his memory, and now in humble wonder at his own temerity he asks it of himself. It is tantamount to that apostolic question, “Nay, but O man, who art thou that repliest against God?” The patriarch illuminated with new light sees his own folly, and humbly confesses it before the Lord. A very great part of our religious talk consists of utterances which we ourselves do not understand, and all our complaining is based upon ignorance.  Job 42:4  Job desired to enter God’s school, and to be taught of him. He w...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for February 5

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for February 5 Tozer in the Morning Words of Spirit and Life The Bible is unique among books, which means simply that no book has been produced just like it.  The Bible is not a book of history, though it contains much history, and all it does contain is authentic. It is not a book of science, though all its pronouncements upon the facts usually falling into the category of science are accurate and trustworthy. It is not a book of biography, though its biographical sketches are easily the most inspiring in the world. It is not a book of philosophy, though it is the sum of all that is deep and sound philosophy. It is not a book of astronomy, though its references to the sun and the stars rate among the loftiest sayings ever recorded. It is not a book of psychology, though its knowledge of the workings of the human mind astonishes the reader and lays bare his soul. It is not strictly a book of theology, though it is the source of a...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for February 5

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for February 5 “Rest in the Lord” (Psalms 37:7) In the old creation the week began with work and ended with Sabbath rest. The resurrection week begins with the first day—first rest, then labor. So we must first cease from our own works as God did from His, and enter into His rest, and then we will work, with rested hearts, His works with effectual power. But why “labor to enter into rest”? See that ship—how restfully she sails over the waters, her sails swelling with the gale; and borne without an effort! And yet, look at that man at the helm. See how firmly he holds the rudder, bearing against the wind, and holding her steady to her position. Let him for a moment relax his steady hold and the ship will fall listlessly along the wind. The sails will flap, the waves will toss the vessel at their will, and all rest and power will have gone. It is the fixed helm that brings the steadying power of the wind. And so He has said, “Thou wilt keep him in ...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for February 5

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for February 5 “Justice Satisfied ”  - Exodus 12:13 My own sight of the precious blood is for my comfort; but it is the LORD’s sight of it which secures my safety. Even when I am unable to behold it, the LORD looks at it and passes over me because of it. If I am not so much at ease as I ought to be, because my faith is dim, yet I am equally safe because the LORD’s eye is not dim, and He sees the blood of the great Sacrifice with steady gaze. What a joy is this!  The LORD sees the deep inner meaning, the infinite fullness of all that is meant by the death of His dear Son. He sees it with restful memory of justice satisfied and all His matchless attributes glorified. He beheld creation in its progress and said, "It is very good"; but what does He say of redemption in its completeness? What does He say of the obedience even unto death of His well-beloved Son? None can tell His delight in Jesus, His rest in the ...
