Daily Devotion: Christ Heals The Woman Who Touched His Garment by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Luke 8:40-48 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched."
- Luke 8:44 KJV

Though the Gadarenes desired the Lord Jesus to depart out of their coasts, there were others who gladly received him. So it is now—while some find religious privileges a burden, there are others who are longing to possess them. While some occupy seats in the house of God, and count the service a weariness; there are others, confined at home by various causes, envying, as David did, the happiness of the swallow, who builds his nest on God's altars.

Daily Devotion: As The Father Has Sent Me I Also Send You by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: John 20:21-28 KJV

Key Verse:  "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you."
- John 20:21 KJV

The Son of God came down and lived in human form on the earth—that men might see God in the flesh. He said, "He who has seen me, has seen the Father." All the love, the gentleness, the patience, the compassion, the purity, the truth, the righteousness, which people saw in the life of Jesus—was simply a revealing of God. That is what God is like.

Daily Devotion: The Giver And The Taker by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Job 1:15-22 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
- Job 1:21 KJV

Noble posture this — to kneel and to adore! To see no hand but ONE! Sabeans; Fire; Whirlwind; Sword — are all overlooked. The Patriarch alone recognizes "the Lord" who gave and "the Lord" who has taken away. What is the cause of so much dejection, needless sorrow, and unchristian murmuring — in our hours of trial? It was what Rutherford calls "our looking to the confused rollings of the wheels of second causes;" a refusal to rise to "the height of the great argument," and confidently to say, "May the will of the Lord be done!" A refusal to hear His voice; His own loving voice, mingling with the accents of the wildest storm: "It is I!" "When disaster comes to a city — has not the Lord caused it?" Is there a bitter drop in the cup — and the Lord has not mingled it?

Daily Devotion: Bible Word - Sanctified by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's:"
- 1 Corinthians 1:2 KJV

To be sanctified means to be set apart, made holy, and dedicated to God’s purposes. It is both a position and a process, something God has done for us through Christ, and something He continues to work within us daily.

Daily Devotion: The Confusion Of The Wicked At The General Judgment by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Matthew 7:21-29 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
- Matthew 7:23 KJV

Alas! men now sin with impunity and boldness—but when I dart my thoughts beyond the grave, and see the unrepentant sinning multitude gathered before the dreadful bar, the angry tribunal—of the vindictive Judge—how will they then look?

Daily Devotion: Everything for Nothing by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:3-10 KJV 

Key Verses:  "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."
- Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV

The Hebrew prophet Isaiah offered a great invitation to everyone to come to the fountain of grace. “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price” (Isaiah 55:1).

Daily Devotion: In The Spirit On Tthe Lord's Day by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Revelation 1:9-10 KJV 

Key Verses:  "I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,"
- Revelation 1:9-10 KJV

Our adorable Immanuel frequently reveals the most brilliant beams of His glory in seasons of the most painful trial and deepest gloom. The dark providential dispensations of God often bring out in richer radiance the glories of His beloved Son, as the darkness of night reveals more distinctly and brightly the existence and beauty of the heavenly bodies. For the manifestation of this remarkable revelation of His risen glory to His servant, our Lord selects precisely such an occasion- an occasion which, to the eye of reason, would appear the most unfavorable and improbable; but to faith's eye, ranging beyond second causes, the most appropriate for such a revelation of Jesus. The emperor Domitian, though not released from his fearful responsibility for the act, was but the instrument of executing the eternal purpose of grace and love.
