Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional: March 26th “The Care of the Poor ” - Psalms 41:3 Remember that this is a promise to the man who considers the poor. Are you one of these? Then take home the text. See how in the hour of sickness the God of the poor will bless the man who cares for the poor! The everlasting arms shall stay up his soul as friendly hands and downy pillows stay up the body of the sick. How tender and sympathizing is this image; how near it brings our God to our infirmities and sicknesses! Whoever heard this of the old heathen Jove, or of the gods of India or China! This is language peculiar to the God of Israel; He it is who deigns to become nurse and attendant upon good men. If He smites with one hand, He sustains with the other. Oh, it is blessed fainting when one falls upon the LORD’s own bosom and is born thereon’ Grace is the best of restoratives; divine love is the safest stimulant for the languishing patient; it makes the soul stro...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional: March 26th “Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2) Add to your faith—do not add to yourself. This is where we make the mistake. We must not only enter by faith, but we must advance by faith each step of the way. At every new stage we shall find ourselves as incompetent and unequal for the pressure as before, and we must take the grace and the victory simply by faith. Is it courage? We shall find ourselves lacking in the needed courage; we must claim it by faith. Is it love? Our own love will be inadequate; but we must take His love, and we shall find it given. Is it faith itself? We must have the faith of God, and Christ in us will be the spirit of faith, as well as the blessing that faith claims. So our whole life from beginning to end, is but Christ in us—in the exceeding riches of His grace; and our everlasting song will be: Not I; but Christ who liveth in me. ’Tis so sweet to walk with Jesus, Step by step and day by day; Step...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for March 26 Tozer in the Morning Submitting to Christ's Lordship No one has any right to believe that he is indeed a Christian unless he is humbly seeking to obey the teachings of the One whom he calls Lord. Christ once asked a question (Luke 6:46) that can have no satisfying answer, ?Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,? and do not do what I say?? Right here we do well to anticipate and reply to an objection that will likely arise in the minds of some readers. It goes like this: ?We are saved by accepting Christ, not by keeping His commandments. Christ kept the law for us, died for us and rose again for our justification, and so delivered us from all necessity to keep commandments. Is it not possible, then, to become a Christian by simple faith altogether apart from obedience?? Many honest persons argue in this way, but their honesty cannot save their argument from being erroneous. Theirs is the teaching that has in the last fifty years ...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 26th March 2024 3/26 Numbers 24:17 17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near: a star shall come out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; it shall crush the forehead of Moab and break down all the sons of Sheth. Balaam was offered a great reward to curse Israel, but he insisted that he would only say what the LORD spoke to him. He divined some of the blessings that God had spoken before to the patriarchs such as, "Those who bless you I will bless and those who curse you I will curse." Genesis 12:3 The king who called him was furious and tried again from three different locations to have Balaam utter a curse from God toward Israel. After the third word of blessing from God, Balaam uttered this final oracle. Once again it sounds like portions of God's word in the past. Balaam was looking forward and seeing King David's conquest of the surrounding regions. But by using the "scepter" he was also pointing to...
