Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: February 23rd “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21) The secret of a sound body is a sound heart, and the prayer of the Holy Ghost for us is, that we “may be in health and prosper even as our soul prospers.” We find Paul in the Epistles to the Philippians expressing a sublime and holy indifference to the question of life or death. Indeed he is in a real strait, whether he would prefer “to depart and be with Christ,” or to remain still in the flesh. The former would indeed be his sweetest preference, but the latter would be at the same time a joyful service.

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for February 23 Tozer in the Morning Chasing Truth To think well and usefully a man must be endowed with certain indispensable qualifications.

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 23rd February 2024 2/23 Exodus 17:7 7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the LORD by saying, "Is the LORD among us or not?" Once again the people were upset because there was no water. Once again they blamed Moses. They hadn't learned the last lesson from the miracle of daily manna. It is the LORD that provides for our needs. This time they threw in a new twist. The asked if the LORD was really among them. They had seen and experienced the wonders God did in Egypt, crossed the sea, seen water transformed and quail and bread delivered to them in the wilderness. They had seen the glory of the LORD in the cloud that led them, and now do they dare to ask if God is really among them? No wonder Moses called the place "Testing and Quarreling". This account will come up a number of times in Scripture. What is it about man that he has so little ...
