Devotional “Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:” Hosea 6:3 Not all at once, but by degrees shall we attain to holy knowledge, and our business is to persevere and learn by little and little. We need not despair, though our progress may be slow, for we shall [...]
Devotional “So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.” (Nehemiah 8:8) Most people—even most Christians—devote very little time to the Scriptures, complaining that they are either too hard to understand or too uninteresting. Yet, when Ezra read “the [...]
Devotional "Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength." Psalm 31:4 Our spiritual foes are of the serpent's brood, a and seek to ensnare us by subtlety. The prayer before us supposes the possibility of the believer being caught like a bird. So [...]
Devotional "The bow shall be seen in the cloud." Genesis 9:14 The rainbow, the symbol of the covenant with Noah, is typical of our Lord Jesus, who is the Lord's witness to the people. When may we expect to see the token of the covenant? The rainbow is only to be seen painted [...]

The Greatest Person who ever occupied a human body is undoubtedly Jesus Christ. Such a life is well worth our detailed study. Consider: THE MAJESTY OF HIS PERSON. Great men and women have lived and influenced others. Sadly their faults are often overlooked in their biographies. But the Bible never hides the [...]
Devotional "And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side..." Mark 6:45 We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us, and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success. We must never put our dreams of success as God’s [...]
“There hath been no latter rain” [Jeremiah 3;3] Spiritual drought makes a wasteland where once there was a Canaan. It reduces a land flowing with milk and honey to poverty and want. It produces spiritual famine, powerlessness, and despondency. No generation knows this better than ours.. We are living through a prolonged [...]
Devotional Empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. Judges 7:16 Here is a lovely Old Testament picture of a New Testament truth. I wonder if Paul had this in mind when he penned the following: "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, [...]
When Jesus taught His disciples to pray He told them to say, “Our Father” [Matthew 6:9]. He did not say “Our Creator” or “Our King” although both would be correct. He said, “Our Father” highlighting the special relationship He has with His children. He is our Father by creation – He made [...]
Devotional "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." Psalm 84:11 Bounteous is Jehovah in His nature; to give is His delight. His gifts are beyond measure, precious and are as freely given [...]
