None to Help But God
"Lord, there is none beside thee to help." (2 Chron. 14:11, RV). Remind God of His entire responsibility. "There is none beside thee to help." The odds against Asa were enormous. There was a million of men in arms against him, besides three hundred chariots. It seemed impossible to hold his own agai... Read More

Go Not Without Prayer
"Watch unto prayer" (1 Peter 4:7). Go not, my friend, into the dangerous world without prayer. You kneel down at night to pray, drowsiness weighs down your eyelids; a hard day's work is a kind of excuse, and you shorten your prayer, and resign yourself softly to repose. The morning breaks; and it ma... Read More

Believing Prayer
"Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way" (John 4:50). "When ye pray, believe" (Mark 11:24). When there is a matter that requires definite prayer, pray till you believe God, until with unfeigned lips you can ... Read More

Desperate Days
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Heb. 11:6). The faith for desperate days. The Bible is full of such days. Its record is made up of them, its songs are inspired by them,... Read More

March Forward
"Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward" (Exod. 14:15). Imagine, O child of God, if you can, that triumphal march! The excited children restrained from ejaculations of wonder by the perpetual hush of their parents; the most uncontrollable excitement of the women as they found themse... Read More

Faith Can Change Any Situation
"For every child of God overcomes the world: and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith" (1 John 5:4, Weymouth). At every turn in the road one can find something that will rob him of his victory and peace of mind, if he permits it. Satan is a long way from having retired ... Read More

Hardship Makes Character
"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Romans 8:37). This is more than victory. This is a triumph so complete that we have not only escaped defeat and destruction, but we have destroyed our enemies and won a spoil so rich and valuable that we can thank God that ... Read More

Claim Victory
"Thou art my king, 0 God: Command deliverance (victories, margin) for Jacob" (Ps. 44:4 RV). Here is no foe to your growth in grace, no enemy in your Christian work, which was not included in your Savior's conquests. You need not be afraid of them. When you touch them, they will flee before you. God ... Read More

Hope vs. Fear
"Lo, I am with you all the appointed days" (Matt. 28:20, Variorum Version). Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto; do you but hold fast to... Read More

Not of the Extraordinary
"Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside, of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush" (Exod. 3:1,2). The vision came ... Read More

God Has Chosen Me
"I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction" (Isa. 48:10). Does not the Word come like a soft shower, assuaging the fury of the flame? Yes, is it not an asbestos armor, against which the heat has no power? Let the affliction come--God has chosen me. Poverty, thou mayest stride in at my door; bu... Read More

It's Raining Blessing
"For God hath made me fruitful in the land of my affliction" (Gen. 41:52). The summer showers are falling. The poet stands by the window watching them. They are beating and buffeting the earth with their fierce downpour. But the poet sees in his imaginings more than the showers which are falling bef... Read More

Believing Prayer
"Peter was kept in prison: but prayer (instant and earnest prayer) was made for him" (Acts 12:5, margin). Peter was in prison awaiting his execution. The Church had neither human power nor influence to save him. There was no earthly help, but there was help to be obtained by the way of Heaven. They ... Read More

He Answered Nothing
"He answered nothing" (Mark 15:3). There is no spectacle in all the Bible so sublime as the silent Savior answering not a word to the men who were maligning Him, and whom He could have laid prostrate at His feet by one look of Divine power, or one word of fiery rebuke. But He let them say and do the... Read More

Climb Upward
"And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the. winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst" (Ezek. 41:7). "St... Read More

Desperate Situations

"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God. . . . And suddenly there was a great ear... Read More

Master Plowman
"Doth the plowman plow all day to sow?" (Isa. 28:24). One day in early summer I walked past a beautiful meadow. The grass was as soft and thick and fine as an immense green Oriental rug. In one corner stood a fine old tree, a sanctuary for numberless wild birds; the crisp, sweet air was full of thei... Read More

Nothing is Too Hard
"Is there anything too hard for Jehovah?" (Gen. 18:14). Here is God's loving challenge to you and to me today. He wants us to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of our hearts, something which perhaps was our desire for ourselves or for someone dear to us, yet which has been ...

Faith Grows Amid Storms
"He hath acquainted himself with my beaten path. When he hath searched me out, I shall come out shining" (Job 23:10, free translation). Faith grows amid storms"--just four words, but oh, how full of import to the soul who has been in the storms! Faith is that God-given faculty which, when exercised,... Read More

Joined in God
"As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing" (2 Cor. 6:10). Sorrow was beautiful, but her beauty was the beauty of the moonlight shining through the leafy branches of the trees in the wood, and making little pools of silver here and there on the soft green moss below. When Sorrow sang, her notes were like t... Read More
