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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: July 22nd Morning “The way of the ungodly shall perish.” 2 Kings 24:6-9 , 2 Kings 24:11 , 2 Kings 24:12 2 Kings 24:11 , 2 Kings 24:12 That is to say, the eighth year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar. Jehoiachin saw the utter uselessness of holding out against the potent Babylonian, and probably hoped that he would be reinstated as a vassal prince, but Nebuchadnezzar’s temper had been too much tried by Judah’s affinity with Egypt, and he took both the king and all the better part of the population of Jerusalem as prisoners to Babylon. This was a second and more sweeping captivity. All this had been foretold by the prophet Jeremiah, though they would not hearken to him. Those who will not regard warnings must perish hopelessly. Thus plainly and plaintively had the messenger of the Lord spoken. Jeremiah 22:21-30 Jeremiah 22:21 , Jeremiah 22:22 Like a parching wind, the Chaldeans would wither all; not pasture only, but pas...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 22

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for July 22 “He that ministereth let us wait on our ministering” (Romans 12:7) Beloved, are you ministering to Christ? Are you doing it with your hands? Are you doing it with your substance and with what you have? Is He getting the best of what is most real to you? Has He a place at your table? And when He does not come to fill the chair, is it free to His representative, His poor and humble children? Your words and wishes are cheap if they do not find expression in your actual gifts. Even Mary did not put Him off with the incense of her heart, but laid her costliest gifts at His feet. Ye busy women, who work so hard to dress your children and furnish your houses and tables, what have your hands earned for the Master, what have you done or sacrificed for Jesus? “Can you afford it?” was asked of a noble woman, as she promised a costly offering for the Master’s work. “No,” was her noble reply, “but I can sacrifice it.” Let us to-day look around us ...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for July 22 “An Eternal Pledge ”  - Hosea 2:19-20 Betrothment unto the LORD! What an honor and a joy! My soul, is Jesus indeed thine by His own condescending betrothal? Then, mark it is forever. He will never break His engagement, much less sue out a divorce against a soul joined to Himself in marriage bonds.  Three times the LORD says, "I will betroth thee." What words He heaps together to set forth the betrothal! Righteousness comes in to make the covenant legal; none can forbid these lawful bans. Judgment sanctions the alliance with its decree: none can see folly or error in the match. Lovingkindness warrants that this is a love union, for without love betrothal is bondage and not blessedness. Meanwhile, mercy smiles and even sings; yea, she multiplies herself into "mercies" because of the abounding grace of this holy union.  Faithfulness is the registrar and records the marriage, and the Holy S...

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

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for July 22 Tozer in the Morning Lord, Give Me Yourself Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem and saw not the king's face, though the king was his own father. Are there not many in the kingdom of God who have no awareness of God, who seem not to know that they have the right to sit at the King's table and commune with the King? This is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is a hard and grievous burden.  To know God, this is eternal life; this is the purpose for which we are and were created. The destruction of our God-awareness was the master blow struck by Satan in the dark day of our transgression.  To give God back to us was the chief work of Christ in redemption. To impart Himself to us in personal experience is the first purpose of God in salvation. To bring acute God-awareness is the best help the Spirit brings in sanctification. All other steps in grace lead up to this. Were we allowed but one request, ...

Worthy Brief - July 22, 2026

 Worthy Brief - July 22, 2026  Love that bears the family resemblance! Matthew 5:43-47 "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so?  Yeshua begins this teaching with a quotation that only half is found in the Torah. "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'" The first half is written — Leviticus 19:18, ve'ahavta l'reacha kamocha (וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ)...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 22nd July 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 22nd July 2026 July 22 1 Chronicles 16:8-11 8Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done. 9Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 11Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Chronicles records the story of the ark coming to Jerusalem. The first time they tried to bring it their own way, and Uzzah died. The second time they did it according to the Word of the LORD. There was great rejoicing. David danced so all-out that his wife despised him. Musicians were appointed to play before the ark on a regular basis. David gave gifts of food to everyone. It was truly a festive occasion. At that time David committed a psalm to his worship leader, Asaph. He didn't just give it to him, but committed it to him. Asaph had this Spirit inspired song and was now responsible to see it sung. Is that how we f...
