Daily Devotion: The Disposal of Providence Always Best by James Meikle


Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1-8 KJV 

Key Verse:  "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)"
2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV

Why would I still take the government of myself out of your hand, and choose according to my fond desires? Can my ignorance penetrate through the thick darkness of futurity? Who would choose a blind mad-man to guide him through some lonely ways and intricate meanders, with which neither the traveler nor the guide are acquainted in the least: since he might lead him where he desires, and stab him as he strays?

Daily Devotion: Attitude Of God Toward The Saved by Wil Pounds


Bible Reading: Romans 8:22-29 KJV 

Key Verse:  "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."
- Romans 8:29 KJV

Was the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ when He died on the cross all-sufficient for God to save the sinner? Was His sacrifice sufficient for God to justly keep the sinner saved? Is God lacking in wisdom and power to fulfill His eternal purpose for the saved sinner?

Daily Devotion: Consider Jesus - In The Power Of His Resurrection by Octavius Winslow


Bible Reading: Philippians 3:8-15 KJV

Key Verse:  "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"
Philippians 3:10 KJV

Is there not some danger of lingering too exclusively at the cross, to the exclusion of the grave of Jesus? In other words, do we give the subject of Christ's RESURRECTION that place in our faith and meditation which we give to His Death, and which God gives it in the great scheme of our salvation? Essential and precious as the atoning Death of Jesus is, it had availed us nothing apart from His Resurrection. We needed more than death--we needed life! We needed more than the bond presented by Divine justice, and paid--we needed the seal of its acceptance on the part of God. This was given when God raised up Jesus from the dead, "who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification."

Daily Devotion: God Will Help You by Charles Spurgeon


Bible Reading: Isaiah 41:10-17 KJV 

Key Verse:  "Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel."
- Isaiah 41:14 KJV

This morning let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: "I Myself will help you." "It is but a small thing for Me, your God, to help you. Consider what I have done already. What! not help you? Why, I bought you with My blood. What! not help you? I have died for you! And if I have done the greater—will I not do the lesser? Help you! It is the least thing I will ever do for you; I have done more, and will do more. Before the world began I chose you. I made the covenant for you. I laid aside My glory and became a man for you. I gave up My life for you. And if I did all this, I will surely help you now. In helping you, I am giving you what I have bought for you already. If you had need of a thousand times as much help—I would give it to you. You require little compared with what I am ready to give. It is much for you to need—but it is nothing for me to bestow. 'Help you?' Fear not! If there were an ant at the door of your granary, asking for help—it would not ruin you to give him a handful of your wheat! Just so, you are nothing but a tiny insect at the door of My all-sufficiency. 'I Myself will help you.' "

Daily Devotion: God's Omnipotent Power by J.C. Philpot


Bible Reading: Ephesians 1:6-13 KJV 

Key Verse:  "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:"
- Ephesians 1:11 KJV

By these words the apostle brings before our eyes God's omnipotent power as carrying into effectual performance the counsel of his own will towards the objects of his distinguishing favor. An especial blessing is couched in this. Next to a believing view of the purposes of God's grace, and a sweet persuasion of our interest in them, nothing is more strengthening and encouraging than a realizing apprehension of the power of God to carry them into full execution.

Daily Devotion: Jesus' Sinless Life by J.E. Smith


Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:14-21 KJV 

Key Verse:  "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV

The Bible teaches that Jesus lived a life free from sin, which is a testament to His divine nature. This sinless life is essential for our salvation, as it allowed Him to become the perfect (unblemished) sacrifice for our sins. Jesus though tempted in every way as we are, never committed a sin. The apostle Peter stated it clearly in 1 Peter 2:22 KJV, Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.Indeed, Jesus Christ is God. In looking at His sinless life, consider these three points:
