Daily Devotion: Mansions Of Heavenly Bliss by J.C. Philpot

Bible Reading: Malachi 4:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall."
- Malachi 4:2 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! And what crowns the whole, there is the eternal enjoyment of those pleasures which are at the right hand of God for evermore.

Daily Devotion: Christ Chooses His Twelve Apostles by Favell Lee Mortimer

Bible Reading: Luke 6:12-18 KJV

Key Verse:  "And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;"
- Luke 6:13 KJV

We must remember, that though Jesus was God, yet that he was clothed in a body like our own, and was subject to all our feelings of fatigue. What ardor of love must have filled his bosom to have driven sleep from his eyelids, and to have sustained him in prayer for a whole night! How long do we pass in prayer? Half an hour? perhaps not five minutes morning and evening; perhaps the greater part even of that time our thoughts are wandering to the ends of the earth. Or do we never pray in spirit, with hearty desires after God? Do we feel our prayers a burdensome task; and do we never pour out our souls, as a child pours out his feelings into his father's bosom? If this be the case, how dreadful is our condition!

Daily Devotion: May The Lord Direct Your Hearts by J. R. Miller

Bible Reading: 2 Thessalonians 3:1-8 KJV

Key Verse:  "And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ."
- 2 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV

We need the patience of Christ to keep us from over-helping others. No peril is greater than this too eager love, when brought close to those who are in need. We would help too much—or too soon. We would lift away burdens—that God would have the person carry longer for his own good. We would make the way easy—that would better be left hard. We would hasten the learning of the lesson—that could far better be learned slowly. We would force the bursting of the flower—before the time God has appointed, thus spoiling his perfect work.

Daily Devotion: Everlasting Espousals by John MacDuff

Bible Reading: Hosea 2:16-23 KJV

Key Verse:  "And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies."
- Hosea 2:19 KJV

How wondrous and varied are the figures which Jesus employs to express the tenderness of His covenant love! My soul! your Savior-God has married you! Would you know the TIME of your betrothal? Go back into the depths of a by-past eternity, before the world was; then and there, your espousals were contracted: "I have loved you with an everlasting love!"

Daily Devotion: Signs Of The End Times by J.E. Smith

Bible Reading: Matthew 24:23-33 KJV 

Key Verse:  "So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors."
- Matthew 24:33 KJV

The Bible contains numerous prophecies and warnings regarding the end times, the period leading up to the return of Jesus Christ. As we explore these passages, we find that God has given us signs to watch for, helping us to recognize the approaching culmination of the age. These signs are not meant to cause fear but to encourage believers to remain faithful and watchful.

Daily Devotion: Going To A Fair by James Meikle

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:26-33 KJV

Key Verse:  "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."
- 1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV

The heavenly mind has this advantage, that it can spiritualize every business, and moralize all occurrences of life. As, then, I am this day going to a fair, let me call to mind the comparisons, or the similitude between this market and the market of grace.

Daily Devotion: Christ Our Redeemer by Wil Pounds

Bible Reading: John 1:7-14 KJV

Key Verse:  "The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."
- John 1:7 KJV

We have been redeemed through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. He paid an infinite price for our salvation. The price of redemption is the death of Jesus Christ. That is the inescapable fact in the Old and New Testament.
