 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: August 26th Morning “Ye shall keep my Sabbaths.” Matthew 12:1-21 Matthew 12:1 Not from any idle feeling of passing away time, but because of necessity, the disciples took ears of corn to eat as they passed through the fields. This they were allowed to do by the Jewish law, and no one found fault with them for it, only it happened to be the Sabbath, and therefore the Pharisees renewed the old quarrel. Matthew 12:2 One would have thought that it was surely permissible to relieve hunger on the Sabbath; but the Pharisees made it out to be an act of harvesting, and even of threshing when they saw them rub the ears in their hands. Some men are great at making much ado about nothing. Matthew 12:3 , Matthew 12:4 Necessity has no law. It was never intended that men should die of hunger in order to preserve the sanctity of a day. Matthew 12:5 , Matthew 12:6 Works done for God are commendable on the Sabbath, and if the Lord him...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional: August 26th Tozer in the Morning Cleaning Out the Closets Another question to put to yourself is, "Do I have any habits I am ashamed to let anybody know I have? Have I any personal habits that I am ashamed of? Do I hide something when the pastor is coming? If everything were known in the church about how I lived, would I go back to church?" You can dodge this, twist it around and answer evasively, but the snow will lie on your heart. If you answer God honestly and go to work to get rid of it and clean it up, springtime will come for you. Then ask yourself, "Is my speech clean?" One of the most shocking things in the church is the dirty-mouthed Christian who always walks on the borderline. There is no place for borderline stories that embarass some people, and there is nothng about sex or the human body that is funny if your mind is clean. There was once a gathering of officers, and George Washington was present in the...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for August 26 “Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil” (2 Kings 4:2) He asked her, “What hast thou in the house?” And she said, “Nothing but a pot of oil.” But that pot of oil was adequate for all her wants, if she had only known how to use it. In truth it represented the Holy Spirit, and the great lesson of the parable is that the Holy Ghost is adequate for all our wants, if we only know how to use Him. All that she needed was to get sufficient vessels to hold the overflow, and then to pour out until all were filled. And so the Holy Spirit is limited only by our capacity to receive Him, and when God wants us to have a larger fulness, He has to make room for it by creating greater needs. God sends us new vessels to be filled with His Holy Spirit in the needs that come to us, and the trials that meet us. These are God’s opportunities for God to give us more of Himself, and as we meet them He comes to us in larger fulness f...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for August 26 “He of Tender Conscience ” - Ezekiel 34:22 Some are fat and flourishing, and therefore they are unkind to the feeble. This is a grievous sin and causes much sorrow. Those thrustings with side and with shoulder, those pushings of the diseased with the horn, are a sad means of offense in the assemblies of professing believers. The LORD takes note of these proud and unkind deeds, and He is greatly angered by them, for He loves the weak. Is the reader one of the despised? Is he a mourner in Zion and a marked man because of his tender conscience? Do his brethren judge him harshly? Let him not resent their conduct; above all let him not push and thrust in return. Let him leave the matter in the LORD’s hands. He is the Judge. Why should we wish to intrude upon His office? He will decide much more righteously than we can. His time for judgment is the best, and we need not be in a hurry to hasten it on. Let the h...

 Worthy Brief - August 26, 2026 Ask, seek, knock: keep coming to your Abba! Matthew 7:7-11 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! After talking about pride, discernment, and caring for what is holy, Yeshua (Jesus) now turns to give his disciples one of the most touching illustrations in the whole of the Sermon on the Mount. After having cautioned them not to pass severe judgments and not to present pearls before swine, He wishes to make certain that they do not leave with a distorted understanding of the Father. God is not far a...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotionsl 26th August 2026 August 26 Ezra 3:3 3Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening sacrifices. Over 40,000 of the captives returned with that first group, led by Jeshua and Zerubbabel. The amazing thing is they returned with over 7000 servants and animals, personal possessions of gold and silver. Captivity had not been that hard on them. Many had prospered. When they arrived, the first thing they began to do was to build the altar. The temple footings had not been laid. The walls of the city lay in ruins, but they focused first on the altar. It had been seventy years since a priest had offered the morning and evening sacrifices. As they studied the Law and saw the need for the lamb to be slain for their sins, they were most anxious for the sacrifices to begin. Before we can do anything of value, we need to be right with God. The blo...
