Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 21st

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" October 21st Morning “Help Thou me.” Psalms 119:81-104 We have upon former occasions read portions of the one hundred and nineteenth Psalm. It is so precious that we will continue to study it, and now read from verse eighty-one to verse one hundred and four. Psalms 119:82 We have the word in the Bible, but we want it to be applied by the Holy Spirit to our hearts, and we eagerly long to have it so. O Lord, grant our desire. Psalms 119:83 Like an old wine-skin blackened and shrivelled by smoke, he was worn with pain and anxiety, yet. he did not leave the way of holiness, nor should we think of doing so, come what may. Psalms 119:84-86 A prayer as sweet as it is short; let us use it: “Help thou me.” Psalms 119:87 , Psalms 119:88 We are always in need of the Spirit’s quickening influences. Our hearts cannot keep fast hold upon the truth if they become paralysed by worldliness. Psalms 119:89 Other things are fleeting and changeable,...

Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 21

 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for October 21 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” (Romans 8:35) And then comes the triumphant answer, after all the possible obstacles and enemies have been mentioned one by one, “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us.” Our trials will be turned to helps; our enemies will be taken prisoners and made to fight our battles. Like the weights on yonder clock, which keep it going, our very difficulties will prove incentives to faith and prayer, and occasions for God becoming more real to us. We shall get out of our troubles not only deliverance but triumph, and in all these things be even more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Our security depends not upon our unchanging love, but on the love of God in Christ Jesus toward us. It is not the clinging arms of the babe on the mother’s breast that keep it from falling, but the strong arms of the mother about it which will never let it go. He...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 21

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 21 “God’s Multiplication Table ”  - Isaiah 60:22 Works for the LORD often begin on a small scale, and they are none the worse for this. Feebleness educates faith, brings God near, and wins glory for His name. Prize promises of increase! Mustard seed is the smallest among seeds, and yet it becomes a treelike plant, with branches which lodge the birds of heaven. We may begin with one, and that "a little one," and yet it will "become a thousand." The LORD is great at the multiplication table. How often did He say to His lone servant, "I will multiply thee!" Trust in the LORD, ye ones and twos; for He will be in the midst of you if you are gathered in His name.  "A small one." What can be more despicable in the eyes of those who count heads and weigh forces! Yet this is the nucleus of a great nation. Only one star shines out at first in the evening, but soon the sky is c...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for October 21

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for October 21 Tozer in the Morning YOUR DEVOTIONAL LIFE Too many of us object, perhaps unconsciously, to the rather evident fact that the maintenance of the devotional mood is indispensable to success in the Christian life. And what is the devotional mood? It is nothing else than constant awareness of God's enfolding presence, the holding of inward conversations with Christ and private worship of God in spirit and in truth! To establish our hearts in the devotional mood we must abide in Christ, walk in the Spirit, pray without ceasing and meditate in the Word of God day and night. Of course this implies separation from the world and obedience to the will of God, as we are able to understand it. No matter how we may argue, true holiness and spiritual power are not qualities that can be once received and thereafter forgotten, as one might wind a clock or take a vitamin pill. Every advance in the spiritual life must be made against the ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 21st October 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 21st October 2026 October 21 Psalms 89:30-33 30"If his sons forsake my law and do not follow my statutes, 31if they violate my decrees and fail to keep my commands, 32I will punish their sin with the rod, their iniquity with flogging; 33but I will not take my love from him, nor will I ever betray my faithfulness. In this psalm about God's promises to David we see in a shadow God's promises to the "Son of David", Christ Jesus. We are His offspring, His seed, in Biblical terms (Isaiah 53:12). In type then, we see God's attitude toward us when we sin. We are still sons, but God is neither indulgent nor ruthless. He will not let us go on without dealing with our sin, but He does not deal with it in a way that would crush us or cause His heart to turn from us. That flogging often goes ignored by us at first. We chalk it up to circumstances, refusing to examine our hearts. When it comes to our own heart, we can be our worst deceiver...

Worthy Brief - October 21, 2026

 Worthy Brief - October 21, 2026  The gardener is still working!  Luke 13:6-9  He also spoke this parable: "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. 7 Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, 'Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it use up the ground?' 8 But he answered and said to him, 'Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. 9 And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down."  In our last devotion, "Do not be afraid, only believe," Yeshua (Jesus) stood at the bedside of Jairus' daughter and said, "Kumi" (arise), and life came back to a home which had looked as though it was all over. Let's go one step further with the parable of the fig tree. The life He gives is to be fruitful. The fig tree in this story is very much alive. It has soil, it has space,...

G-d's Minute 21st October 2026

  G-d's Minute 21st October 2026  RETURN TO THE LORD YOUR GOD, FOR HE IS GRACIOUS    AND COMPASSIONATE, SLOW TO ANGER  AND ABOUNDING    IN LOVE.                                                      ( JOEL 2:13 *NIV )      There are times when our faith runs thin and we may even   find ourselves walking far from God.  When that happens   Peter, it is because we moved away from God, not because   He moved away from us.      Now if that happens to you remember it is written; IF FROM THERE   YOU SEEK THE LORD YOUR GOD, YOU WILL FIND HIM IF   YOU SEEK HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL   YOUR SOUL.  ( DEUTERONOMY 4:29 )      After all, our Heavenly Father is always there with open   arms to...
