Day 7 - Sabbath - Daily Devotions - Logos

Morning, March 18 Go To Evening Reading “Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:26 The fatherhood of God is common to all his children . Ah! Little faith, you have often said, “Oh, that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid.” List thee, Little faith. Great-heart is God’s child, and you are God’s child too, and Great-heart is not one whit more God’s child than you are. Peter and Paul, the highly-favored apostles, were of the family of the Highest; and so are you also; the weak Christian is as much a child of God as the strong one. “This cov’nant stands secure, Though earth’s old pillars bow; The strong, the feeble, and the weak, Are one in Jesus now.” All the names are in the same family register. One may have more grace than another, but God, our heavenly Father, has the same tender heart toward all. One may do more migh...

Day 5 - Thursday - Daily Devotions - Logos

Morning, March 16 Go To Evening Reading “I am a stranger with thee.” —Psalm 39:12 Yes, O Lord, with thee, but not to thee. All my natural alienation from thee, thy grace has effectually removed; now, in fellowship with thyself, I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country. Thou art a stranger in thine own world. Man forgets, dishonors, sets up new laws and alien customs, and knows thee not. When thy dear Son came unto his own, his own received him not. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Never was a foreigner so speckled a bird among the denizens of any land as thy beloved Son among his mother’s brethren. It is no marvel, then, if I, who live the life of Jesus, should be unknown and a stranger here below. Lord, I would not be a citizen where Jesus was an alien. His pierced hand has loosened the cords which once bound my soul to earth, and now I find myself a stranger in the land. My speech seems to these ...

Day 1 - Sunday - Daily Devotions - Logos

Morning, March 19 Go To Evening Reading “Strong in faith.” —Romans 4:20 Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect, faith is the only way to obtain blessings . If we want gifts from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God’s throne except the earnest prayer of the man who believes. Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory. Let that angel be withdrawn; we can neither send up a prayer nor receive the answers. Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven—on which God’s messages of love fly so fast that before we call, he answers, and while we are yet speaking, he hears us. But how can we receive the promise if that telegraphic wire of faith is snapped? Am I in trouble?—I can obtain help by faith. Am I beaten about by the enemy?—my soul on her dear Refuge leans by faith. But take faith away—in vain, I call to God. There is no road betwixt my soul and heaven. In the mos...
