SEPTEMBER 25 Just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.(Romans 3:26) Being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Conscience no longer accuses. Judgment now decides for the sinner instead of against him. Memory looks back upon past sins with deep sorrow for the sin, but yet without dreading any…

SEPTEMBER 24 For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, “The hand of our God is for good on all who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who…

SEPTEMBER 21 I will rejoice in doing them good.(Jeremiah 32:41) How heartwarming to the believer is the delight that God takes in His saints! We cannot see any reason in ourselves why the Lord should take pleasure in us; we do not even take delight in ourselves, for we often have to groan, being burdened,…

September 20 “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” (Judges 7:20) Gideon ordered his men to do two things: Covering up a torch in an earthen pitcher, he had them, at an appointed signal, break the pitcher and let the light shine. Then he had them blow the trumpet, crying, “A sword for the…

The person who grasps this is not far from being a master in experimental [experiential] theology, for they are vital…

SEPTEMBER 17 Encourage him.(Deuteronomy 1:38) God employs His people to encourage one another. He did not say to an angel, “Gabriel, My servant Joshua is about to lead My people into Canaan—go, encourage him.” God never performs unnecessary miracles. If His purposes can be accomplished by ordinary means, He will not use miraculous agencies. Gabriel…

SEPTEMBER 15 He is not afraid of bad news.(Psalm 112:7) Christian, you ought not to be afraid of the arrival of bad news; because if you are distressed by such, you are no different from other men. They do not have your God to run to; they have never proved His faithfulness as you have…

SEPTEMBER 14 And other boats were with him.(Mark 4:36) Jesus was the Lord High Admiral of the sea that night, and His presence preserved the whole convoy. It is good to sail with Jesus, even though we may be in a little boat. When we sail in Christ’s company, we cannot be sure of fine…

SEPTEMBER 13 As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.(Psalm 84:6) This teaches us that the comfort obtained by one may often prove helpful to another, just as the springs would be enjoyed by the company who came after. When…
