Daily Devotion: The Aggrandizing Visit by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Revelation 3:15-22 KJV

Key Verse:  "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
- Revelation 3:20 KJV

If a fellow-creature, who has gathered together more riches than many of his acquaintance, or has attained to more honor, and has more high-sounding titles than others, condescends, as they call it, to visit an inferior, or to admit an inferior to visit him—the whole neighborhood is astonished, and the men that receive the compliment consider themselves as highly honored by it. Yet what is this person with whose visit they are so delighted—but a 'fellow worm of the earth'—a mere insect, which crawls on the face of the ground? As, however, infinite wisdom has divided the inhabitants of the world into different classes, distinctions, and orders, for a time, the sons of men are not to despise such a visit; but as it is only for a time, the saints the sons of God, are not to idolize it, or think that riches and honor are the channel through which the favor and love of God to his people is conveyed.

Daily Devotion: Faith and the Bible by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Isaiah 40:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
- Isaiah 40:8 KJV

The Bible is God’s perfectly inspired word. The written Word testifies to God’s self-revelation in His incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. All Scripture, both Old and New Testament, is a clear testimony to Jesus Christ. The Bible is not just a record of revelation of God, but it is revelation itself, and it is an infallible witness of God to men.

Daily Devotion: One Lord by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "One Lord, one faith, one baptism,"
- Ephesians 4:5 KJV

The Church is also one in the Son- "There is one Lord." The Lord Jesus is the one Head, as He is the one Foundation, of the Church. All believers are chosen in Christ, blessed in Christ, saved in Christ, preserved in Christ, and in Christ will be glorified. The work of Christ is the one resting-place of their souls. They rely for pardon upon the same blood, for acceptance upon the same righteousness, and for sanctification upon the same grace.

Daily Devotion: Have You Received The Holy Spirit by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."
- 1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV

Dear reader, have you received the Holy Spirit into your soul? The necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit in the heart, may be clearly seen, in that all which has been done by God the Father, and by God the Son, must be ineffectual to us, unless the Spirit shall reveal these things to our souls. What effect does the doctrine of election have upon any man—until the Spirit of God enters into him? Election is a dead letter in my consciousness, until the Spirit of God calls me out of darkness into marvelous light. Then through my calling, I see my election, and knowing myself to be called of God, I know myself to have been chosen in the eternal purpose. A covenant was made with the Lord Jesus Christ, by His Father; but what does that covenant avail to us—until the Holy Spirit brings us its blessings, and opens our hearts to receive them

Daily Devotion: The Mind Of Christ by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Philippians 2:4-11 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:"
- Philippians 2:5 KJV

The call in Philippians 2:5 is both simple and profound: we are to think like Christ. Not just in moments of worship or prayer, but in our daily attitudes, decisions, and interactions with others. What is the “mind of Christ”? The surrounding verses paint a powerful picture. Jesus, though divine, chose humility over status:

Daily Devotion: Fear God And Be Holy by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Proverbs 16:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil."
- Proverbs 16:6 KJV

There is a very close and intimate connection between godly fear and being holy in all manner of life. When do we drop into levity of conversation? When do light and frothy words fall from our lips? When do any of those hasty bursts of temper, or those fretful expressions, or that mere carnal, worldly talk to which we are naturally prone, hover upon our lips and break forth, more or less unguardedly, from our tongue? Is it not when this godly fear is not flowing its streams as a fountain of life, to well water the soul and soften it into humility and love, and is not springing up in wholesome checks and godly admonitions to keep the tongue as with a bridle and to rule that little member which, though so little, if untamed, defiles the whole body?

Daily Devotion: His Compassion For The Multitude by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Matthew 9:31-38 KJV

Key Verse:  "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." - Matthew 9:35 KJV

The Lord Jesus was permitted to teach in the synagogues, but he did not confine himself to them; nor did He preach only on the Sabbath. He taught in all places and at all times. There have been faithful men, who have closely copied his example, and have proclaimed their Master's name with an untiring zeal. They have been much despised, but they have turned many sinners unto the Lord; for the preaching of the gospel is the most effectual means of converting souls.
