Daily Devotional – Readiness

Readiness – From Utmost.org April 18, 2016  God called to him….And he said, “Here I am.” —Exodus 3:4  When God speaks, many of us are like people in a fog, and we give no answer. Moses’ reply to God revealed that he knew where he was and that he was ready. Readiness means having a right relationship to God and having the knowledge of where we are. We are so busy telling God where we would like to go. Yet…

Verse of the Day – Deuteronomy 7:9 KJV

Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

Daily Devotional – All or Nothing?

All or Nothing? – From Utmost.org April 17, 2016 When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment…and plunged into the sea. —John 21:7  Have you ever had a crisis in your life in which you deliberately, earnestly, and recklessly abandoned everything? It is a crisis of the will. You may come to that point many times externally, but it will amount to nothing. The true deep crisis of abandonment, or total surrender, is…

Can You Come Down From the Mountain? – From Utmost.org April 16, 2016  While you have the light, believe in the light… —John 12:36  We all have moments when we feel better than ever before, and we say, “I feel fit for anything; if only I could always be like this!” We are not meant to be. Those moments are moments of insight which we have to live up to even when we do not feel like it. Many of…

Daily Devotional – The Failure to Pay Close Attention

The Failure To Pay Close Attention – From Utmost.org April 15, 2016  The high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days. —2 Chronicles 15:17  Asa was not completely obedient in the outward, visible areas of his life. He was obedient in what he considered the most important areas, but he was not entirely right. Beware of ever thinking, “Oh, that thing in my life doesn’t matter much.” The fact that it…

Verse of the Day – John 14:21 KJV

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

Daily Devotional – Inner Invincibility

Inner Invincibility – From Utmost.org April 14, 2016  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me… —Matthew 11:29  “Whom the Lord loves He chastens…” (Hebrews 12:6). How petty our complaining is! Our Lord begins to bring us to the point where we can have fellowship with Him, only to hear us moan and groan, saying, “Oh Lord, just let me be like other people!” Jesus is asking us to get beside Him and take one end of the yoke,…

Verse of the Day – Isaiah 40:28 KJV

Hast thou not known?  Hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?  There is no searching of his understanding.

What To Do When Your Burden Is Overwhelming – From Utmost.org April 13, 2016  Cast your burden on the Lord… —Psalm 55:22  We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him— to literally…
