Daily Devotion: Be Content With His Daily Allowance by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: 2 Kings 25:23-30 KJV

Key Verse:  "And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life."
- 2 Kings 25:30 KJV

Jehoiachin was not sent away from the king's palace with a 'supply' to last him for months—but his provision was given him as a daily pension. Herein he well pictures the happy position of all the Lord's people. A daily portion is all that a man really needs. We do not need tomorrow's supplies; for that day has not yet dawned, and its needs are as yet unborn. The thirst which we may suffer in the month of June—does not need to be quenched in February, for we do not feel it yet. If we have enough for each day as the days arrive—we shall never know want. Sufficient for the day—is all that we can enjoy.

Daily Devotion: Thick Clouds Of Darkness by J.C. Philpot

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

What thick clouds of darkness spread themselves at times over our souls; all things out of sight; our signs and tokens buried, as it were, in mist. It is like a sea fog, that comes out of the bosom of the vasty deep, and hides all objects from view. The ships are on the sea, notwithstanding, but this deep fog prevents their being seen. So with our souls at times--all is misty, cloudy, and no signs can be seen of the work of God upon our hearts. And yet we "know" them, by receiving the Spirit of God, for it is the only way whereby they can be known. We can only see light in God's light; only believe by God's faith; only love by God's love; therefore can only know the things freely given to us of God by the revelation of the Spirit.

Daily Devotion: Jesus Commends John The Baptist by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Matthew 11:7-17 KJV

Key Verse:  "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."
- Matthew 11:7-17 KJV

God has said, "those who honor me I will honor."—(1 Sam. 2:30.) John the Baptist honored Christ much in his preaching, and now we hear how greatly Christ honored him. The Lord, who knows all men, declared that no prophet greater than John had ever appeared. Elijah, who raised the widow's son, was not greater; for though John had performed no miracle, he knew more of Christ than any who had come before him.

Daily Devotion: Jesus Is The Light Of The World by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: John 8:12-19 KJV

Key Verse:  "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
- John 8:12 KJV

We are always coming to points we have never passed before. Every new temptation is such a point. We cannot get through it unless we have a guide.

Daily Devotion: The Dying Legacy by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: John 14:24-31 KJV

Key Verse:  "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
- John 14:27 KJV

How we treasure the last sayings of a dying parent! How specially cherished and memorable are his last looks and last words! Here are the last words, the parting legacy, of a dying Savior. It is a legacy of peace. What peace is this? It is His own purchase — a peace arising out of free forgiveness through His precious blood. It is sung in concert with "Glory to God in the highest" — a peace made as sure to us, as eternal power and infinite love can make it! It is peace the soul needs, that is nowhere else to be found — but through the blood of His cross! "Being justified by faith — we have peace with God." "HE gives His beloved rest!"

Daily Devotion: The Tower That Couldn’t Reach Heaven by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Genesis 11:1-9 KJV

Key Verse:  "And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
- Genesis 11:6 KJV

The story of the Tower of Babel is one of the most striking moments in Scripture where the collective pride of humanity rose up in defiance against the sovereign God. At its core, Babel is not just about architecture—it’s about ambition, rebellion, and the dangerous illusion that man can dethrone God.

Daily Devotion: The Divine Lover by James Meikle

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 13 KJV

Key Verse:  "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
- 1 Corinthians 13 KJV

How many great geniuses have employed their noble talents on subjects of human love! And by their flowery expressions, pitch up the imaginary bliss in these luscious scenes to such a height, as if nothing more sublime could be pursued by immortal souls! And how easy such trifling subjects gain on carnal minds, mournful experience may convince us. But where is he who dwells on the Divine Lover, and expatiates on his matchless grace, with strokes that melt the soul with astonishment and rapture? How often does the poet, in his paean of a created beauty, step beyond the truth, talk at random, yes rove above possibility itself! But here, in the love of the Son of God, we can never exceed. It is higher than heaven, and brought him down from his father's bosom to our earth! It is deeper than hell, and brought us up from thence! It is larger than the sea, and can never be exhausted! Broader than the earth, and can never be described. How vehemently did the heavenly flame burn, even "when sorrows of death compassed him about, when the pains of hell took hold on him!"

Daily Devotion: Crucified with Christ by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Galatians 2:14-21 KJV

Key Verse:  "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
- Galatians 2:20 KJV

When Christ died on the cross the work of salvation was completed and Christ provided access for all believers into God’s holy presence. Therefore, salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. God is a real person and our relationship with Him can be cultivated as with any other relationship. We have been saved to live in fellowship with Him. We can enjoy the riches of the Christian life only as we grow in intimacy with Christ. The presence of our Lord in our lives brings this intimacy and these riches in glory with Him.

Daily Devotion: Thorn In The Flesh by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me."
- 2 Corinthians 12:8 KJV

When Paul prayed for the removal of the thorn in the flesh, he asked that of God which betrayed a lack of judgment in his estimate of the thing which he petitioned for. Who would have suspected this in the apostle of the Gentiles? But the Lord knew best what was for the good of His dear servant. He saw that, on account of the peculiar revelations that were given him in his visit to glory, the discipline of the covenant was needed to keep him low in the dust. And, when His child petitioned thrice for the removal of the thorn in the flesh, he for a moment overlooked, in the painful nature of the discipline, its needed influence to keep him "walking humbly with God." 

Daily Devotion: No Condemnation For Those In Christ by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: Romans 8:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."
- Romans 8:1 KJV

Come, my soul—think on this. Believing in Jesus, you are actually and effectually cleared from all guilt; you are led out of your prison. You are no more in fetters as a bond-slave; you are delivered now from the bondage of the law; you are freed from sin, and can walk at large as a freeman—for your Savior's blood has procured your full discharge. You have a right now to approach your Father's throne. No flames of vengeance are there to scare you now; no fiery sword; justice cannot smite the innocent.

Daily Devotion: The Lord Loves The Gates Of Zion by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Psalm 87:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob."
- Psalm 87:2 KJV

What are gates for? Two purposes--entrance and exit. And Zion, also, has her gates of exit and entrance; she has her gates of access to God, entrance into the presence of the Most High; "the door of hope," opened in "the valley of Achor." And who has opened the door; or, rather, who has not only opened it and made it, but himself IS the Door? "I am the Door," says Jesus. And was not "the door" opened through his rent flesh? As the Apostle speaks--"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he has consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh." Through his bleeding wounds, through his pierced side, through his mangled feet and hands, there is now access to God–"A door of hope is opened wide In Jesus' pierced hands and side."

Daily Devotion: Art You The One by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Luke 7:18-23 KJV

Key Verse:  "And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?"
- Luke 7:18-23 KJV

We know that John at this time was shut up in prison. While there he was visited by his disciples. Though they had often been directed to look to Jesus as the Savior of the world, it appears they now doubted whether he was the true Messiah so long expected. They did well to come to their teacher to express their doubts. It is always well to confide such thoughts to those who are able to help us, for by hiding them in our own bosoms, we may often occasion ourselves much uneasiness, and expose ourselves to great danger. It would, indeed, be very wrong to express our doubts to ignorant, or unbelieving people, but it is wise to open our minds to experienced Christians.

Daily Devotion: America as Sodom & Gomorrah, A Call to Repentance by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Isaiah 3:9 KJV

Key Verse:  "The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves."
- Isaiah 3:9 KJV

The statement, "If God does not punish America, He'll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah" is attributed to Ruth Graham, the wife of Billy Graham. She made this remark while reviewing a chapter of her husband's book, "World Aflame," which discussed the moral decline of America. The quote has since been frequently associated with Billy Graham, although it originated with his wife.
