Daily Encounter: Running on Empty for Monday, September 7, 2026

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: September 7th Morning “My God shall supply all your need.” Mark 8:1-9 Mark 7:1-3 Some spiritual teachers think it beneath them to devise anything for the temporal good of their hearers, but our Lord was intensely human and humane. He could not look on hunger and faintness without pity. Mark 7:4 , Mark 7:5 That is the question How much ability have you? To calculate how much agency would be necessary to evangelize the thousands, may be mere speculation: to resolve each one of us to do our own share of the work is sound sense. Mark 7:8 Those hands which multiplied the food were surely those of the world’s Creator. Who can doubt the Godhead of Jesus? Lord, prove thy Deity by making the labours of thy poor church to be a rich blessing to millions. Matthew 15:39 , Matthew 16:1-12 Matthew 16:1 How trying it must have been to his holy and ardent soul to be haunted by these spies! Yet he never fell into their snares. His hol...

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for September 7 “I will joy in the God of my salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18) The secret of joy is not to wait until you feel happy, but to rise, by an act of faith, out of the depression which is dragging you down, and begin to praise God as an act of choice. This is the meaning of such passages as these: “Rejoice in the Lord alway, and again I say, rejoice”; “I do rejoice; yes, and I will rejoice.” “Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” In all these cases there is an evident struggle with sadness and then the triumphs of faith and praise. Now, this is what is meant—in part, at least—by the sacrifice of praise. A sacrifice is that which costs us something. And when a man or woman has some cherished grudge or wrong and is harboring it, nursing it, dwelling on it, rolling it as a sweet morsel under the tongue, and quite determined to enjoy a miserable time in selfish morbidness and grumbling, it costs us no little sacrifice to throw of...

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 7 Tozer in the Morning In the Pursuit of God - Following Hard After God My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.  Psalms 63:8  Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man. Before a sinful man can think a right thought of God, there must have been a work of enlightenment done within him; imperfect it may be, but a true work nonetheless, and the secret cause of all desiring and seeking and praying which may follow.  We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit. `No man can come to me,' said our Lord, `except the Father which hath sent me draw him,' and it is by this very prevenient drawing that God takes from us every vestige of credit for he act of coming. The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the ...

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 7 “The Reach of Almighty Grace ”  - Hosea 1:10 Sovereign grace can make strangers into sons, and the LORD here declares His purpose to deal thus with rebels and make them know what He has done. Beloved reader, the LORD has done this in my case; has He done the like for you? Then let us join hands and hearts in praising His adorable name.  Some of us were so decidedly ungodly that the LORD’s Word most truly said to our conscience and heart, "Ye are not my people." In the house of God and in our own homes, when we read the Bible, this was the voice of God’s Spirit in our soul, "Ye are not my people." Truly a sad, condemning voice it was. But now, in the same places, from the same ministry and Scripture, we hear a voice, which saith, "Ye are the sons of the living God." Can we be grateful enough for this? Is it not wonderful? Does it not give us hope for others? Who is beyond t...

Effort to Locate Jewish Remains in Lebanon Begins - IFCJ

 Worthy Brief - September 7, 2026 The kingdom mysteries begin with how you hear!  Psalm 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old. Matthew 13:9-23 -- 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear! 19  When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 23  But the seed sown on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and produces a crop—a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold." As I begin this new series on the Mysteries of the Kingdom through the parables, I want to invite you to walk with me through the stories Yeshua told, simple on the surface, yet beneath them the King Himself unveiling how His Kingdom works and what He is looking for in the hearts of those who follow Him. A thousand years earlier than when Yeshua (Jesus) sat by the shore of Galilee in a boat and started to t...

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 7th September 2026 September 7 Nehemiah 8:8-10 8They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read. 9Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, "This day is sacred to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep." For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. 10Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." Once the people dealt with the sin in their lives, they asked Ezra to read from the Book of the Law. When he opened the book they all stood. Ezra began by praising God. All the people lifted their hands and joined in agreement that God was great, and then they bowed and worshipped. You'll...
