DAILY READINGS: Exodus 40:1-38; Psalms 94:1-95:11; Acts 24:1-23

Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Isaiah 55:6, NKJV

I was asked to visit a lady who was dying. I explained the way of salvation to her. She said, “I know all that. I heard it when I was young. I have six months to live and I will go to hell.” She died and, to my knowledge, never trusted Christ. How tragic when she could have come to Him as a young woman and lived her life for Him. If you are considering trusting Christ, don’t put it off. Accept His offer of salvation today. —J. Fleming

Too late, the words came back to me, For I had reached eternity,
I knew at last the wealth I’d lost, Yes, Christ and heaven, what
a cost! My friend, why won’t you come and say, “Dear Lord,
please cleanse my heart today,” Then you will hear at heaven’s
gate, “Come enter in” and not “Too late!” —J. F.

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 39:1-43; Psalms 92:1-93:5; Acts 23:12-35

He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no one to intercede; then his own arm brought him salvation. Isaiah 59:16

In Israel’s day the prophet described God looking upon earth and seeing no man who loved truth, righteousness and judgment. Thus no one had the desire or the capacity to intercede. So God did it Himself. It reminds us of our lost, sinful condition. There was no man who could save us from hell until the Lord Jesus Christ interceded. God stretched out His own arms on the cross and paid the price for our sins. He is our salvation. He is our hope. There is no other. Friend, trust Him today. —George Ferrier

O boundless salvation! Deep ocean of love,
O fullness of mercy, Christ brought from above. —W. Booth

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 38:1-31; Psalms 90:1-91:16; Acts 22:22-23:11

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 

Have you ever received wrong directions when travelling and ended up totally lost? The same thing will happen if you follow man’s directions as to how to get to heaven—eternally lost. So, don’t gamble with your eternal destination. God’s Word says that Jesus is the only way. You can rely on Him. —E. V.

If you would meet in heaven,
Those that you miss today,
The Blessèd One must lead you—
He is the only way. —F. Glen

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 37:1-29; Psalm 89:19-52; Acts 22:1-21

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. Isaiah 1:18 

Sin stains! The scarlet and the crimson referred to in this passage were “fast dyes.” That is, once the fabric had received the dyes, the stain was indelible. Such are the stains of sin. Once sins have been committed, the stain cannot be removed by man’s device. But what an offer the Lord makes to sin-stained man: He will remove indelible stain, and make the sinner as pure and clean as fresh snow. “And the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). —W. H. Burnett

There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
—William Cowper

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 36:1-38; Psalm 89:1-18; Acts 21:17-40

And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. John 19:2

On his head were many crowns. Revelation 19:12, KJV 

In Pilate’s judgment hall there began a series of events meant to humiliate the Lord Jesus. Thorns, the product of the curse in Eden’s garden, were placed upon His head. It is a vivid picture of the place He took under awful condemnation. The day is coming when Jesus will wear many diadems of glory! In that day every knee will bow and confess Him as Lord. Dear reader it is wise to do it now. Make Him your Saviour! —Jim Paul

Behold the Lamb with glory crowned; To Him all power is given.
No place too high for Him is found, No place too high in Heaven.
—Thomas Kelly

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 35:1-35; Psalms 87:1-88:18; Acts 21:1-16

He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him…that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Philippians 2:8-10

The officers of the Sanhedrin slapped Him and thought they humbled Him. The rulers had Him crucified and thought they humbled Him. The Roman soldiers stripped Him and thought they humbled Him. But such was His power that their efforts were only as He allowed. The truth is He humbled Himself. Now God has highly exalted Him. God asks us to bow our knees to the Saviour today. Some day in the future, as Judge, He will demand it. What a privilege to do it now. —Ken Gross

Within the holiest of all cleansed by His precious blood; Before the
throne we prostrate fall and worship Thee our God. —J. Deck

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 34:4-35; Psalms 85:1-86:17; Acts 20:17-38

…So great salvation. Hebrews 2:3, KJV

How great is our salvation? As great as our God! It is great because the great God is its Author, before whom the nations of the earth are counted as nothing (Isaiah 40:12-17). It is great because of what it does: saves us from past, present, and future sins; saves us from the penalty of sin, the power of sin, and, finally, the presence of sin. It is great because it saves sinners, rebels, hopeless cases, depraved and perverse members of a condemned race, and makes sons and worshipers out of them. Do you have this great salvation? Come to a great God today! —Carl Knott

How wondrous a Saviour is God’s blessed Son!
How great and eternal the work He has done!
—L. H. Farrell

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 33:1-34:3; Psalms 83:1-84:12; Acts 20:1-16

But overhearing what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not fear, only believe.” Mark 5:36

Jairus had just learned that his beloved daughter had died. Instantly the Lord Jesus offered sympathy: “Do not fear, only believe.” What was the man afraid of? Were his fears physical? Emotional? Spiritual? Whatever they may have been, the Lord counseled him to believe—literally to “place his confidence” in the Lord Jesus. Perhaps you are sorrowing today. Is your heart aching over the death of a loved one? Does the future fill you with anxiety? Regardless of what your fears are, follow the Lord’s advice and put your confidence in Him. —L. Shatford

No matter what may be the test, God will take care of you; Lean,
weary one, upon His breast, God will take care of you. —C. D. Martin

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 32:1-35; Psalms 81:1-82:8; Acts 19:21-41

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Revelation 5:12, KJV

All the believer’s hopes depend on the perfect sacrifice of the Lord Jesus on the cross. Praise God He is now seated in His rightful place in glory. But so often we find ourselves looking back to the cross and to that time when we first believed. It brings joy to our hearts to recall the moment when God’s Holy Spirit granted us an understanding of our Saviour’s work—the sacrifice of the Lamb of God for us. Are you depending on the perfect work of the Lord Jesus Christ? —Mark Fenn

I have been at the altar and witnessed the Lamb, Burnt wholly to
ashes for me; And watched its sweet savour ascending on high,
Accepted, O Father, by Thee. —Amelia Matilda Hull

DAILY READINGS: Exodus 31:1-18; Psalms 79:1-80:19; Acts 18:24-19:20

And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment. Hebrews 9:27, NKJV

This solemn warning is given to those who have never repented of their sin nor accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their substitute. On the cross of Calvary, the Saviour bore the sins of the world, but to be born again is a personal matter. The Lord Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7, NKJV). Have you ever cried out from the depths of your heart and confessed: Christ Jesus died for me? —E. MacLelland

It was for me, yes all for me,
O love of God, so great so free,
O wondrous love, I’ll shout and sing,
He died for me, my Lord and King. —J. M. White
