Day 6 - Friday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost of His Highest | Thought for the Quiet Hour |

Morning, January 17 Go To Evening Reading “And I looked, and a Lamb stood on the mount Sion.” —Revelation 14:1 The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!” This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.” Nothing else attracted the apostle’s attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian, here is joy for thee; thou hast looked and seen the Lamb. Through thy tears, thine eyes have seen the Lamb of God taking away thy sins. Rejoice, then. In a while, when thine eyes shall have been wiped from tears, thou wilt see the same Lamb exalted on his throne . It is the joy of thy heart to hold daily fellowship with Jesus; thou shalt have the same pleasure to a higher degree in ...

Day 5 - Thursday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | Mu Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 16 Go To Evening Reading “I will help thee, saith the Lord.” —Isaiah 41:14 This morning, let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each of us: “I will help thee.” “It is but a small thing for me, thy God, to help thee. Consider what I have done already. What! Not help thee? Why, I bought thee with my blood. What! Not help thee? I have died for thee, and if I have done the greater, will I not do the less? Help thee! It is the last thing I will ever do for thee; I have done more and will do more. Before the world began, I chose thee. I made the covenant for thee. I laid aside my glory and became a man for thee; I gave up my life for thee, and if I did all this, I will surely help thee now. In helping thee, I am giving thee what I have bought for thee already. If thou hadst need a thousand times as much help, Ihee; thou require would give it t little compared with what I am ready to give. ’Tis much for thee to need, but it is nothing for me to bestow. ‘ Hel...

Day 4 - Wednesday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 15 Go To Evening Reading “Do as thou hast said.” —2 Samuel 7:25 God’s promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; he intended that they should be used. God’s gold is not miser’s money but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see his promises put in circulation; he loves to see his children bring them up to him and say, “Lord, do as thou hast said.” We glorify God when we plead his promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the promised riches? Do you dream that he will be any the less holy for giving holiness to you? Do you imagine he will be any the less pure for washing you from your sins? He has said, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” Faith lays hold upon the promise of pardon, and it does not delay, saying, “This is a precious promise; I...

Day 3 - Tuesday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 14 Go To Evening Reading “Mighty to save.” —Isaiah 63:1 By “to save,” we understand the great work of salvation, from the first holy desire onward to complete sanctification. The words are multum in parro : indeed, all mercy is in one word. Christ is not only “mighty to save” those who repent, but he can make men repent. He will carry those to heaven who believe, but he is mighty to give men new hearts and work faith in them. He is mighty to make the man who hates holiness love it and to constrain the despiser of his name to bend the knee before him. This is not all the meaning, for the divine power is equally seen in the after-work. The life of a believer is a series of miracles wrought by “the Mighty God.” The bush burns but is not consumed. He is mighty to keep his people holy after he has made them so and to preserve them in his fear and love until he consummates their spiritual existence in heaven. Christ’s might doth not lie in creating a believer an...
