Read the “0713 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

Good morning. Psalm 145 is King David’s Psalm of Praise. David was known as a man after God’s own heart; shouldn’t he be filled with praise for the LORD? He tells God, in verse 2, that he will praise God’s name for ever and ever. Why? Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. How do we praise the Him? By telling others, and by sharing your praises with them. Verse 4 tells us…

Can God get a witness? I’m sure He can. Having trouble praising God for all the wondrous things He has done? Continue reading in verse 5…

Can you praise the LORD as well as David? I’m sure you can, if Jesus is in your heart. Start by counting your many blessings: name them one by one, and you’ll see what God has done. You will praise Him too!

Peace!

Read the “0706 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His holy name. What comes out of your mouth when you talk about the Lord? Does it bless His holy name? Are you using all your power: all that is within you? Bless His holy name.

He forgives, heals, and keeps you out of Hell. He shows you His loving kindness, and His tender mercies. He supplies you with good and healthy food He shows the oppressed His righteousness and judgment. He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

Are you His creation? Were you made in the image of God? Yes? Then you need to bless the Lord!

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, because of His honour, His majesty, and His greatness.

Peace.

Read the “0629 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. How long do you think the insanity in our country will go on before it blows up in our faces? In our text, three times David asks the Lord to make haste. There were people that desired David’s hurt. Dacid asked the Lord to deliver him, that those who were after him would be confused, ashamed, confounded, and turned back. Make haste, LORD. Our own country has turned away from God. Homosexuality runs rampant. Drugs, illegal aliens, and criminals overflow our boarders. What can we do? We can apply what David said in verse 5…

And also apply what his son Solomon heard from the LORD…

Make haste!

Peace.

(Second Milers also read – 2 Peter 1 – 3; Psalms 106 – 110; Proverbs 22)

Read the “0622 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. There was an old TV commercial, that had a man sitting on his bed. He was recounting what had happened to him. Another guy said, “Try it, you’ll like it. Try it, you’ll like it.”

The man on the bed said, “So I tried it… thought I was gonna die!”

Then they went into the product information. But in our verse, the Bible tells us to taste and see that the Lord is good: and you will be blessed. Blessed is the man that trusteth in Him!

Try Jesus, you’ll like Him, and all your sins will be forgiven.

Try Jesus, and you will live forever.

Try Jesus, and you will have a mansion in Heaven that He built especially for you.

Try Jesus, and He will never leave you, nor forsake you.

Try Jesus, and one day you’ll walk on streets of gold.

Try Jesus, and you will be blessed.

Try Jesus, you’ll like Him!

Peace!

Are Ye Not Much Better? – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – Job 36 – 38 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – 2 Timothy 1 – 4; Psalms 71 – 75; Proverbs 15)

Read the “0615 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. I’m in the process of resealing the roof of my RV. You see a lot when you’re up twelve feet in the air. I look past the awning, and I see my two dogs: Louie, and Rosie. They are both looking at Preacher and Justin’s backyard. Talking in a normal voice I call Louie’s name. They are still focused on the backyard. I call again, a little louder, and he looks up at me. He goes toward the gate to pick up his tennis ball. He looks up at me again and lets the ball drop to the ground as if to say, “Hey, get down here and throw the ball for me.”

But being on top of the RV, you can see a good portion of the backyard. God sees us the same way, but not just a portion. God sees everything. He controls the universe, but still makes time to answer our prayer. He answers yes, or no, or what I told Louie: not right now. When was the last time you counted your blessings? Can you remember God answering your prayer? When you think about how God has blessed you, you know He cares for you and is watching you, ready to show Himself strong in your sight. And you also know that God keeps His Word.

Peace.

Though He Slay Me – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – Job 12 – 14 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – Ephesians 4 – 6; Psalms 36 – 40; Proverbs 8)

Read the “0608 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. Job is being “comforted” by his friends. And Job told them so…

Job was a man who walked with God.

1) Job trusted God (v. 15).

2) Job knew bad things happen in life (v. 15). Jesus said…

3) Job made the decision to maintain his own ways before God (v. 15)

4) Job knew God was his Saviour (v. 16)

And if you don’t have Jesus, how will you ever get through what is happening in the United States?

Peace!

Are You Hearing God’s Word – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – Nehemiah 8 – 10 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – 1 Corinthians 13 – 16; Psalms 1 – 5; Proverbs 1)

Read the “0601 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. Many times, while out soul winning, I would encounter people who would tell me that they don’t need to go to church. The Bible clearly states that we should not forsake the assembling of ourselves together. It is important to be in God’s house. The Jews of the Old Testament knew this. In Nehemiah 8:1-2, the people gathered themselves together, and compelled Ezra, the priest to bring out the word of God and read it. In vs3 we find that he read it from morning to midday. Verse 3 also tells us that their ears were all attentive to God’s Word. Verses 5-6 tell us that the people stood as Ezra read, and worshiped the LORD. And verse 8 tells us that they read (those in verse 7) in the Book of the Law distinctively, and gave sense, and caused the people to understand the reading.

Do you want to understand what the Bible says, then you need to be in church: church that believes what the Bible says.

Peace.

The Protection Of God – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – 2 Chronicles 32 – 33 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – Romans 1 – 4; Psalm 119; Proverbs 25)

Read the “0525 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. God’s Word is powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It gives us comfort in knowing that God is with us.

1) We can be strong and courageous.

2) We do not have to be afraid or dismayed.

3) We have God to help us.

4) We have God to fight for us.

5) We do not have an arm of flesh like our enemies; we have the LORD our God.

There are many examples of men in the Bible who refused to believe God.

In this chapter it was Sennacherib king of Assyria.

God protects His people. And with God’s protection comes…

Peace!

Prayer Changes Things – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – 2 Chronicles 6 – 8 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – Acts 7 – 9; Psalms 86 – 90; Proverbs 18)

Read the “0518 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. Have you ever listened to South West Radio Church? They would always open the program with these words…

Man prays, God acts. When you ask for something, there are only three possible answers you can get: yes, no, or not right now. We can see, by the first verse of chapter 7 that…

GOD Is Listening.

He heard the prayer of Solomon. He heard when Solomon finished praying. Then…

GOD Acted.

He sent fire down from heaven, and…

GOD Answered.

The fire came down and consumed the burnt offerings, and sacrifices. Then…

GOD Was Glorified.

The people worshiped and praised God. They said, “For He is good; For His mercy endureth forever.”

Don’t you just love it when God answers yes? Will you still love God when He answers no, or not right now? He may be keeping you from being hurt or maybe hurting someone else. Remember that God is good, and His mercy endureth forever. He wants only those things that are good for you. If he delays, or says no, it is only for our own good, and the good of others.

Peace.

How Is Your Shout? – The Saturday Morning Post

Today’s Reading – 1 Chronicles 13 – 15 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – Click here to view the passage from Blue Letter Bible)

(Second Milers Read – John 13 – 14; Psalms 51 – 55; Proverbs 11)

Read the “0511 Evening and Morning” devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Good morning. What a testimony. God’s people were doing things God’s way, and were bringing the ark back to the city of David. With all the singing and shouting, and the blasts of the trumpets and crahing of the cymbals, it was probably heard for miles.

How is your shout? Every Christian has a testimony of what God has done for them. It could be deliverance from sin, from addiction, from personal struggles, from anything. Maybe God has blessed you some how. The Apostle Paul had many struggles and afflictions…

Paul had something to shout about. Have you lost you car keys? I lost mine and could not find them anywhere. I started to pray and ask the Lord where they were. Before I could finish, I knew they were in my coat pocket. Praise the LORD, I even made it to work on time. Maybe it was something small like finding lost keys. That’s something I won’t forget. Maybe you never had anything ‘big’ happen to you, like deliverance from a lawsuit for a quarter of a million dollars. Our God is shown great in the little things as well as the big things. Our testimony should be that He cares about you as much as He cares about me. Tell others that God is real. How is your shout?

Peace.
