The Love of the Upright & Satan’s Hindrance | Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 7 The Love of the Upright & Satan’s Hindrance Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 7 Morning Devotion “The upright love thee.” — Song of Solomon 1:4 Believers love Jesus with a deeper affection than they dare to give to any other being. They would sooner lose father and mother than part with Christ. They hold all earthly comforts with a loose hand, but they carry him fast locked in their bosoms. They voluntarily deny themselves for his sake, but they are not to be driven to deny him. It is scant love which the fire of persecution can dry up; the true believer’s love is a deeper stream than this. Men have laboured to divide the faithful from their Master, but their attempts have been fruitless in every age. Neither crowns of honour, nor frowns of anger, have untied this more than Gordian knot. This is no every-day attachment ...

Watchman and the Glory of the Lord | Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 6 Watchman and the Glory of the Lord Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 6 Morning Devotion “Watchman, what of the night?” — Isaiah 21:11 What enemies are abroad? Errors are a numerous horde, and new ones appear every hour: against what heresy am I to be on my guard? Sins creep from their lurking places when the darkness reigns; I must myself mount the watch-tower, and watch unto prayer. Our heavenly Protector foresees all the attacks which are about to be made upon us, and when as yet the evil designed us is but in the desire of Satan, he prays for us that our faith fail not, when we are sifted as wheat. Continue O gracious Watchman, to forewarn us of our foes, and for Zion’s sake hold not thy peace. “Watchman, what of the night?” What weather is coming for the Church? Are the clouds lowering, or is it all clear and fair overhead? We must ...

All Things for Good and The Call to Serve | Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 5 All Things for Good and The Call to Serve Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 5 Morning Devotion “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.” — Romans 8:28 Upon some points a believer is absolutely sure. He knows, for instance, that God sits in the stern-sheets of the vessel when it rocks most. He believes that an invisible hand is always on the world’s tiller, and that wherever providence may drift, Jehovah steers it. That re-assuring knowledge prepares him for everything. He looks over the raging waters and sees the spirit of Jesus treading the billows, and he hears a voice saying, “It is I, be not afraid.” He knows too that God is always wise, and, knowing this, he is confident that there can be no accidents, no mistakes; that nothing can occur which ought not to arise. He can say, “If I should lose al...

Strength in Knowing God and the Blight of Pride | Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 4 Strength in Knowing God and the Blight of Pride Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 4 Morning Devotion “The people that do know their God shall be strong.” — Daniel 11:32 Every believer understands that to know God is the highest and best form of knowledge; and this spiritual knowledge is a source of strength to the Christian. It strengthens his faith. Believers are constantly spoken of in the Scriptures as being persons who are enlightened and taught of the Lord; they are said to “have an unction from the Holy One,” and it is the Spirit’s peculiar office to lead them into all truth, and all this for the increase and the fostering of their faith. Knowledge strengthens love, as well as faith. Knowledge opens the door, and then through that door we see our Saviour. Or, to use another similitude, knowledge paints the portrait of Jesu...

The Light of the Lamb and the Overflow of Grace | Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 3 The Light of the Lamb and the Overflow of Grace Spurgeon Morning and Evening – August 3 Morning Devotion “The Lamb is the light thereof.” — Revelation 21:23 Quietly contemplate the Lamb as the light of heaven. Light in Scripture is the emblem of joy. The joy of the saints in heaven is comprised in this: Jesus chose us, loved us, bought us, cleansed us, robed us, kept us, glorified us: we are here entirely through the Lord Jesus. Each one of these thoughts shall be to them like a cluster of the grapes of Eshcol. Light is also the cause of beauty. Nought of beauty is left when light is gone. Without light no radiance flashes from the sapphire, no peaceful ray proceedeth from the pearl; and thus all the beauty of the saints above comes from Jesus. As planets, they reflect the light of the Sun of Righteousness; they live as beams p...

Verse of the Day – Psalm 143:8 Verse of the Day – Psalm 143:8 “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.” — Psalm 143:8 (KJV) Morning is a sacred time—quiet, unspoiled, and full of potential. In this psalm, David voices a prayer we all need: to begin each day with the assurance of God's steadfast love and divine direction. The verse is not merely poetic; it’s a deep soul-cry from one who knows his utter dependence on God. God's “lovingkindness” isn’t a passing emotion. It’s His covenantal mercy—unfailing, active love rooted in His promises. When we ask to hear of it “in the morning,” we are choosing to start our day centered on God's grace rather than our fears or agendas. And when we ask to “know the way wherein [we] should walk,” we are acknowledging that we d...

Sa Lilim ng Kanyang Pagkalinga Sa Lilim ng Kanyang Pagkalinga "Ang tumatahan sa lihim na dako ng Kataas-taasan ay mananatili sa lilim ng Makapangyarihan sa lahat." — Awit 91:1 (ADB) Sa mundo na puno ng ligalig at panganib, ang mga salita ng Awit 91 ay tila malamig na tubig sa uhaw na kaluluwa. Ang talatang ito ay paanyaya mula sa Diyos: lumapit ka, manatili ka, at ikaw ay aking iingatan. Hindi ito pansamantalang silungan kundi isang matibay at walang hanggang kanlungan. Ang salitang "tumatahan" ay nagpapahiwatig ng patuloy na pananatili. Ang ating Diyos ay hindi lamang tagapagligtas sa oras ng kagipitan; Siya ang ating araw-araw na tahanan. Sa Kanyang lilim, may kapahingahan ang pusong nabibigatan, may katiyakan sa gitna ng mga pagbabago, at may kapayapaan sa gitna ng kaguluhan. Suportang Talata: Isaiah 26:3 : "Iyong iingatan siya sa lubos na kapayapaan, na ang pag-iisip...

Grace in Design and Diligence – Morning and Evening, August 2 Grace in Design and Diligence Morning and Evening – August 2 “Who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.” – Ephesians 1:11 Our belief in God’s wisdom supposes and necessitates that he has a settled purpose and plan in the work of salvation. What would creation have been without his design? Is there a fish in the sea, or a fowl in the air, which was left to chance for its formation? Nay, in every bone, joint, and muscle, sinew, gland, and blood-vessel, you mark the presence of a God working everything according to the design of infinite wisdom. And shall God be present in creation, ruling over all, and not in grace? Shall the new creation have the fickle genius of free will to preside over it when divine counsel rules the old creation? Look at Providence! Who knoweth not that not a sparrow falleth to the ground without your Father?...

Abide in Christ – Devoted in Grace Abide in Christ John 15:5 (KJV) “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” Jesus presents a powerful image in John 15:5: He is the true Vine, and we are the branches. Just as a branch draws all its life from the vine, so believers must remain connected to Christ to bear spiritual fruit. Abiding is not merely believing—it is dwelling, remaining, living in continual fellowship with Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit, the work of ministry, and lasting joy all flow from this vital union. Apart from Him, we can do nothing of eternal value. Supporting Scripture Galatians 2:20 (KJV) “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” ...

Gleaning in the Field of Grace: Evening Devotion for August 1 Gleaning in the Field of Grace “Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn.” Ruth 2:2 A golden barley field at sunset, symbolizing God's promises and provision. Downcast and troubled Christian, come and glean today in the broad field of promise. Here are abundance of precious promises, which exactly meet thy wants. Take this one: “He will not break the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.” Doth not that suit thy case? A reed, helpless, insignificant, and weak, a bruised reed, out of which no music can come; weaker than weakness itself; a reed, and that reed bruised, yet, he will not break thee; but on the contrary, will restore and strengthen thee. Thou art like the smoking flax: no light, no warmth, can come from thee; but he will not quench thee; he will blow with his sweet breath of mercy till he fans thee to a flame. ...
