Daily Devotion: Grace In The Blush, Sin Not Ashamed by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Psalm 107:36-43 KJV

Key Verse:  "The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth."
- Psalm 107:42 KJV

It is one of the most surprising things that I have ever observed, that sanctity should be ashamed—but iniquity not ashamed to display itself. Hence it is one of the greatest blessings promised to the lower world, that "iniquity, as ashamed, shall stop her mouth;" which supposes, that in bad times she has an impudent loquacity, both a whore's forehead in refusing to be ashamed, and the tongue of a strumpet in scorning to be silenced. Hence the company of dissolute people over their bottle, are not shy to open to another the mystery of iniquity in their most abandoned actions, and to boast in their shame.

Daily Devotion: Christ our Reconciliation by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Genesis 3:4-11 KJV

Key Verse:  "And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden."
- Genesis 3:8 KJV

Adam enjoyed perfect fellowship and communion with God before he disobeyed Him in the Garden. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God that fellowship was broken, and Adam tried to hide himself from God (Genesis 3:8-11). That broken relationship with God needed to be restored or man would be eternally separated from God’s holy presence.

Daily Devotion: We Shall See Jesus As He Is by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: 1 John 3:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."
- 1 John 3:2 KJV

Who can fully tell of all the Redeemer's glory in heaven? Or, were it fully revealed, what power to grasp, what faculties to comprehend, what eye to behold, and what tongue to describe so lofty a theme and so sublime a spectacle as this? But we shall behold it! We, too, shall be glorified. The mind shall be adjusted to the mightiness of the theme, and the eye shall be strengthened for the dazzling magnificence of the spectacle. 

Daily Devotion: The Lord Our Righteousness by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: Jeremiah 23:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, The Lord Our Righteousness."
- Jeremiah 23:6 KJV

It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and peace—to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ. How often are the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I do not think they would be—if they could always see their perfection in Christ. There are some who are always talking about corruption, and the depravity of the heart, and the innate evil of the soul. This is quite true—but why not go a little further, and remember that we are "perfect in Christ Jesus!" It is no wonder that those who are dwelling upon their own corruption should wear such downcast looks; but surely if we call to mind that "Christ is made unto us, righteousness," we shall be of good cheer!

Daily Devotion: True Worship Requires Sacrifice by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 24:18-25 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver."
- 2 Samuel 24:24 KJV

Worship is a central aspect of the Christian life, but what does it truly mean to worship God? The Bible paints a picture of worship that goes beyond mere words or actions and requires a sacrifice of our time, resources, and, ultimately, ourselves. In our Key Verse above, King David put it best when he said that he would not offer to God something that cost him nothing.

Daily Devotion: Jesus Comforts Our Hearts by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: 2 Thessalonians 2:10-17 KJV

Key Verse:  "Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work."
- 2 Thessalonians 2:17 KJV

When the Lord is pleased to apply a promise, drop in a word of encouragement, speak home an invitation with power, he administers consolation thereby. It comforts the drooping heart; it speaks peace to a guilty conscience. And this consolation is "everlasting consolation;" for it flows from nothing less than such a source, that is, the eternal love of God; and flows onward to an everlasting ocean of infinite delight. Any intimation of a saving interest in the everlasting love of God is a blessing beyond all price; for the Lord never gives any such intimation but as a certain pledge and foretaste of immortal bliss. He can neither disappoint nor deceive. Once blest, blest forever.

Daily Devotion: Christ Heals A Man With A Withered Hand by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Matthew 12:9-16 KJV

Key Verse:  "Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other."
- Matthew 12:13 KJV

It was upon the way to the synagogue that the disciples had plucked the ears of corn; for our Savior did honor to the ordinances of public worship by attending them himself. He taught at the synagogue, he sat among the readers, and expounded. His enemies were present; for they observed the forms of religion, though they knew not its power.
