Daily Devotion: They Know His Voice by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: John 10:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice."
- John 10:4 KJV

It is true of sheep in the East, that while they quickly respond to their names when their own shepherd calls them, because they know his voice—yet if a stranger comes to the door of the fold and calls them by the same names, they will be alarmed and will turn and run. It ought to be so with Christ's sheep. They should be quick to hear and know their own Shepherd's voice whenever he calls. They should never be afraid when they recognize his call, though it be in the darkness of sorrow or of trial. But they should also be quick to detect any voice that is not their own Shepherd's.

Daily Devotion: The Vision And Fruition Of God by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Revelation 21:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
- Revelation 21:5 KJV

Glorious consummation! All the other glories of Heaven are but dim emanations from this all excelling glory. Here is the focus and center to which every ray of light converges. God is "all in all."

Daily Devotion: Death A Blessing To Godly Men by James Meikle

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."
- 2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV

Why so much complaint of death? It is true, death is the fruit of sin, for by sin, death came into the world. But it is also true, that death is the finisher of sin to the godly—for by death sin shall be cast out forever. Sin, conveyed to us in our conception, is so interwoven with the human frame, that the tie must be dissolved between the soul and body, before a full and final separation can take place between the soul and sin. Who then, would fear the furnace, which is only to consume the dross, that the gold may come forth without alloy? What candidate for heaven would be averse to lay down mortality—in order to take up immortality; to put off this corruptible body—in order to put on incorruption? to have his body sown in dishonor—in order to be raised in honor and glory; and to have the soul dislodged from his body—that sin might be dislodged from his soul?

Daily Devotion: Christ Our Refuge by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: John 3:11-18 KJV

Key Verse:  "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
- John 3:18 KJV

The Bible is very clear in its declaration that individuals who are not “in Christ” are lost and under condemnation. If you are not “in Christ Jesus” you have not escaped the condemnation and the wrath of God.

Bible Reading: 1 Peter 5:1-8 KJV

Daily Devotion: A Rest To The People Of God by Octavius Winslow

Bible Reading: Hebrews 4:1-9 KJV

Key Verse:  "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
- Hebrews 4:9 KJV

Not yet come to the heavenly rest, we still are approaching it, and, oh ecstatic thought! we shall reach it at last. Everything in our present course reminds us that we are nearing home, as the seaweed washed from the rocks, and as the land-birds venturing from their bowers and floating by the vessel, are indices to the voyager that he is nearing his port. 

Daily Devotion: These Are Ancient Things by Charles Spurgeon

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 4:22-29 KJV

Key Verse:  "And Jokim, and the men of Chozeba, and Joash, and Saraph, who had the dominion in Moab, and Jashubilehem. And these are ancient things."
- 1 Chronicles 4:22 KJV

Yet not so ancient as those precious things which are the delight of our souls. Let us for a moment recount them, counting them over as misers count their gold. The sovereign choice of the Father, by which He elected us unto eternal life, before ever the earth was, is a matter of vast antiquity, since no date can be conceived for it by the mind of man. We were chosen from before the foundations of the world. Everlasting love went with the choice, for it was not a bare act of divine will by which we were set apart—but the divine affections were concerned. The Father loved us—in and from the beginning. Here is a theme for daily contemplation! The eternal purpose to redeem us from our foreseen ruin, to cleanse and sanctify us, and at last to glorify us—was of infinite antiquity, and runs side by side with immutable love and absolute sovereignty.
