Day 2 - Monday | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening| Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Thoughts for His Utmost | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 27 Go To Evening Reading “And of his fulness have all we received.” —John 1:16 These words tell us that there is a fulness in Christ. There is a fulness of essential Deity, for “in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead.” There is a fulness of perfect manhood, for in him, bodily, that Godhead was revealed. His blood has a fulness of atoning efficacy, for “the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanseth us from all sin.” There is a fulness of justifying righteousness in his life, for “there is now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.” His plea contains a fulness of divine prevalence: "He is able to save to the uttermost them that come unto God by him; seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” There is a fulness of victory in his death, for through death, he destroyed him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. There is a fulness of efficacy in his resurrection from the dead, for “we are begotten again unto a lively hope...

Day 1 - Bible Devotions | Lord's Day (Sunday) | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 26 Go To Evening Reading “Your heavenly Father.” —Matthew 6:26 God’s people are doubly his children; they are his offspring by creation and his sons by adoption in Christ. Hence, they are privileged to call him “Our Father, which is art in heaven.” Father! Oh, what a precious word that is. Here is authority : “If I am a Father, where is my honor?” If ye be sons, where is your obedience? Here is affection mingled with authority, an authority which does not provoke rebellion, an obedience demanded which is most cheerfully rendered—which would not be withheld even if it might. The obedience which God’s children yield to him must be loving . Do not go about the service of God as slaves to their taskmaster’s toil, but run in the way of his commands because it is your Father’s way. Yield your bodies as instruments of righteousness because righteousness is your Father’s will, and his will should be the will of his child. Father !—Here is a kingly attribute so sweet...

Day 7 - Sabbath (Saturday) | Daily Devotions | Morning and Evening: Daily Reading | Connect the Testaments | My Utmost for His Highest | Thoughts for the Quiet Hour |

  Morning, January 25 Go To Evening Reading “I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, and the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us.” —Isaiah 63:7 And canst thou not do this? Are there no mercies which thou hast experienced ? Though thou art gloomy now, canst thou forget that blessed hour when Jesus met thee and said, “Come unto me”? Canst thou not remember that rapturous moment when he snapped thy fetters, dashed thy chains to the earth, and said, “I came to break thy bonds and set thee free”? Or if the love of thine espousals be forgotten, there must surely be some precious milestone along the road of life not immensely grown over with moss, on which thou canst read a happy memorial of his mercy towards thee? What didst thou never have a sickness like that which thou art suffering now, and did he not restore thee? Wert thou never poor before, and did he not supply thy wants? Wast thou never in straits before, and did he not deliver...

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

  Morning, January 24 Go To Evening Reading “Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler.” —Psalm 91:3 God delivers his people from the snare of the Fowler in two senses, f rom  and out of . First, he delivers them from the snare—does not let them enter it; and secondly, if they should be caught therein, he gives them out . The first promise is the most precious to some; the second is the best to others. “He shall deliver thee from the snare.” How? Trouble is often how God delivers us. God knows that our backsliding will soon end in our destruction, and he, in mercy, sends the rod. We say, “Lord, why is this?” not knowing that our trouble has been the means of delivering us from far greater evil. Thus, Many have been saved from ruin by their sorrows and crosses; these have frightened the birds from the net. At other times, God keeps his people from the snare of the Fowler by giving them great spiritual strength so that when they are tempted to do evil...
