Daily Devotion: Frames Of Soul Variable by James Meikle

Bible Reading: Philippians 4:6-13 KJV

Key Verse:  "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
- Philippians 4:13 KJV

It is the greatest display of spiritual folly to put any confidence in a holy frame of mind. A frame is a certain heavenly disposition of the soul. Now, to rest on anything in ourselves is, to destroy ourselves; for the noblest attainment is to go wholly outside of ourselves and rest only on Christ. If I do otherwise, I provoke him to remove, by placing the effect of his presence in the place of himself, and then my mountain, which I thought stood so firm, is immediately removed; God hides his face, and I am troubled.

Daily Devotion: Christ Our Redeemer (2) by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: Mark 10:45-52 KJV

Key Verse:  “For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
- Mark 10:45 KJV

The most significant word that describes the death of Christ for sinful man is redemption. It means, “buying again,” or “buying back.” In the Bible it is used especially of purchasing a slave with a view of setting him free. It signifies a release procured by the payment of a ransom price.

Daily Devotion: God That Justifies by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Romans 8:32-39 KJV

Key Verse:  "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth."
- Romans 8:33 KJV

Behold the eternal security of the weakest believer in Jesus. The act of justification, once passed under the great seal of the resurrection of Christ, God can never revoke without denying Himself. Here is our safety. Here is the ground of our dauntless challenge, "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies." What can I need more? What more can I ask? 

Daily Devotion: Your Love To Me Was Wonderful by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 1:20-27 KJV

Key Verse:  "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women."
- 2 Samuel 1:26 KJV

Come, dear readers, let each one of us speak for himself of the wonderful love, not of Jonathan—but of Jesus. We will not relate what we have been told—but the things which we have tasted and handled of the love of Christ.

Daily Devotion: The Power and Responsibility of the Tongue by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Proverbs 18:17-24 KJV

Key Verse:  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
- Proverbs 18:21 KJV

The tongue, though small, holds immense influence over our lives and the lives of those around us. It can build up and tear down, heal and harm, encourage and discourage. The words we speak are not merely sounds; they carry weight and can shape the lives of others and ourselves. As Proverbs 18:21 above reminds us, the tongue holds the power of both death and life. This truth calls for careful attention to what we say, as our words reflect the condition of our hearts and have the ability to influence the world around us.

Daily Devotion: Many Mansions by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: John 14:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."
- John 14:2 KJV

O that we could lift our eyes to those blest abodes, those mansions of heavenly bliss, where no sorrow intrudes, where sin is unknown, where tears are wiped from off all faces, where there is no languishing body, no wasting sickness, no pining soul, no doubt, fear, darkness or distress; but one unmingled scene of happiness and pleasure, and the whole soul and body are engaged in singing the praises of God and the Lamb! 

Daily Devotion: The Multitude Sought To Touch Jesus by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Luke 6:17-23 KJV

Key Verse:  "And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all."
- Luke 6:19 KJV

We have just read how Jesus spent a whole night in prayer, and in the morning chose his twelve apostles. After choosing them he came down from the mountain, and found a vast multitude collected together in a plain beneath.
