Daily Devotion: The Gift Of Eternal Life by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: 1 John 5:7-14 KJV

Key Verse:  "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
- 1 John 5:11 KJV

Eternal Life is God’s kind of life. It is eternal because He is eternal. Nothing will ever separate the believer in Christ from the One who loves us. He gave us His free gift of eternal life the very moment we were born spiritually, and it can never be lost (John 3:15-16, 36; 6:47; 10:28). It is a life without end, and no one can ever take it from you. There are no final boundaries to eternal life.

Daily Devotion: The Constant Exercise Of Prayer by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Proverbs 3:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
- Proverbs 3:6 KJV

The constant exercise of prayer makes every burden light, and smooths every rugged step of a child of God: it is this only that keeps down his trials; not that he is ever exempt from them- no, it is "through much tribulation that he is to enter the kingdom;"- he is a disciple of the cross, his religion is that of the cross, he is a follower of Him who died upon the cross, and entire exemption from the cross he never expects until he passes to the possession of the crown.

Daily Devotion: Jonah Fled by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: Jonah 1:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord."
- Jonah 1:3 KJV

Instead of going to Nineveh to preach the Word, as God bade him, Jonah disliked the work, and went down to Joppa to escape from it. There are occasions when God's servants shrink from duty. But what is the consequence? What did Jonah lose by his conduct?

Daily Devotion: Grand Object Of Faith by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Hebrews 13:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
- Hebrews 13:8 KJV

The eye of our faith must be ever fixed on Jesus, for the Person of Christ is the grand object of faith, and to lose sight of him is to lose sight of the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Is he not the same Jesus now that he was on earth? He is exalted, it is true, to an inconceivable height of glory, so that when John saw him, even as if in some measure veiled, he fell at his feet as dead. But he is the same Jesus now as when he was the man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as he wears the same human body, so he has the same tender, compassionate heart.

Daily Devotion: Christ Sleeps In The Storm Then Stills It by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Mark 4:33-41 KJV 

Key Verse:  "And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it."
- Mark 4:33 KJV

It was in this manner that the Lord Jesus ended a day of great labor. His friends in the midst of it had desired him to desist, but seeing multitudes assembled to hear the word, he continued to teach. In order to be seen and heard more conveniently, he removed into a ship. The parable of the sower, and many others, were spoken by Jesus while he sat in a ship on the lake of Gennesaret. (See Mark 4:1.) Afterwards, he had a private conversation in the house with his disciples, when he explained his parables. In the evening he crossed the lake in a ship.

Daily Devotion: The Coming Kingdom by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Matthew 4:17-24 KJV 

Key Verse:  "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
- Matthew 4:17 KJV

When Jesus stepped onto the scene, His first public message wasn’t about politics, morality, or self-improvement. It was about God's Kingdom. “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17) 

Daily Devotion: Transformation Of John by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: John 21:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea."
- John 21:7 KJV

One compares the character of John, in its mellow ripeness, to an ancient, extinct volcano. Where once the crater yawned—there is now a verdurous, cup-like hollow on the mountain summit. Where once the fierce fires burned—lies a still, clear pool of water, looking up like an eye to the beautiful heavens above, its banks covered with sweet flowers. "It is an apt parable," he says, "of the apostle John.
