Daily Devotion: Do Not Be Offended In Me by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Matthew 11:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me."
- Matthew 11:6 KJV

What is the feeling of your heart toward Jesus? What is the solemn desire of your soul? that he would come and make your heart his abode? that he would visit your soul with the light of his countenance? that he would sprinkle his blood upon your conscience? that he would make himself very near, very dear, and very precious? Do you count one word from his lips worth a thousand worlds? a smile of his countenance worth thousands of gold and silver? Then you are blessed. You are not stumbling upon the dark mountains of error. You are not stumbling at the perfections of the Son of God. You are not offended at a free gospel, an unconditional salvation.

Daily Devotion: The Lord's Prayer by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Matthew 6:9-13 KJV

Key Verse:  "After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name."
- Matthew 6:9 KJV

This prayer is so familiar to us, that we are in great danger of not considering its weighty meaning. A prayer taught by our blessed Savior himself ought to engage our deepest attention. Had we been told that such a prayer had been given, and had never heard the words, how we would have desired to hear them! We ought not to suppose that we are bound to use this prayer every time we pray. Jesus said, "After this manner pray." We find in this prayer a pattern for our prayers.

Daily Devotion: The Cloak Of Christ by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: Matthew 9:19-26 KJV 

Key Verse:  "For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole."
- Matthew 9:21 KJV

The 'cloak of Christ' still trails nearby us. It is by us, when we open the Bible and read His words. It is by us, when we feel the presence of the Holy Spirit with us. It is by our beds of pain, when we are sick.

Daily Devotion: The Hairs Of Your Head Are All Numbered by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Matthew 10:26-33 KJV 

Key Verse:  "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
- Matthew 10:30 KJV

What a "word" is this! All that befalls you, to the very numbering of your hairs — is known to God! Nothing can happen by accident or chance. Nothing can elude His inspection. The fall of the forest leaf — the fluttering of the insect — the waving of the angel's wing — the annihilation of a world — all are equally noted by Him! Man speaks of great things and small things — but God knows no such distinction.

Daily Devotion: Science by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Psalm 19:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."
- Psalm 19:1 KJV

True science is a study much commended. Where the works of nature are narrowly surveyed, they fill the mind with wonder and delight, and prove that their Creator must be God. O! says one, how the study of astronomy exalts the soul! And then he expatiates on the starry heavens, or skies filled with suns, with their dependent planets; or worlds unseen—and carries on his fruitful theme, until his lectures have filled the extension of space with spacious habitations for intelligent, though unintelligible beings.

Daily Devotion: Clothed With Fig Leaves Or Righteousness? by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Romans 2:11-18 KJV

Key Verse:  "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel."
- Romans 2:16 KJV

There are no secrets with God. Adam and Eve learned that the hard way. The apostle Paul reminds us, that God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus (Rom. 2:16). The writer of Hebrews says, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Heb. 4:13).

Daily Devotion: Verses For Comfort During Trials by J.E. Smith
