March 18 Evening. 1 Pet 1:5 "who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation." (NKJV) When I call to mind that in me, "that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing;" when I stand convinced, (as I do most fully, blessed be God the Holy Ghost, for having exercised his gracious work in my so...

April 7 EVENING.-"And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, and he was numbered with the transgressors."-Mark xv. 28. Look up, my soul, to the cross, and behold thy Lord hanging with two thieves; yea, in the middle of them, as if the greatest malefactor of the three; and, what is the most awful ... Read More

AUGUST 23. MORNING. "The beloved physician." Col. 4:14. My soul, catch a thought of what the apostle speaks here about the servants of the Master. And think of the Master!

August 22. MORNING. "Seeking for Jesus." John 6:24. This, my soul, should be your constant employment, wherever you are, however engaged; in going in, or out; at rising up, or lying down; whether in public or private, in the church or market-place; the closet, the family, the garden, the field, the ...

MAY 3. MORNING. "Sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind."-Luke 8:35. Look at this man, my soul, and see whether you can find any resemblance to yourself.

March 18 Morning Gen 48:2 "Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed." (NKJV) This was an interesting moment in the life, or rather the death, of this great man of God. May it help my soul to show what ought to be the conduct of the believer he nears death. The imagination can hardly conceiv... Read More

December 23 EVENING. "The Dayspring from on high." Luke 1:78. Truly it was so when Jesus came; for a long night of Jewish darkness and ignorance had covered the earth, and gross darkness the people. Look, my soul, at Jesus under this blessed representation. Though it be evening with you, this day-sp... Read More

JULY 13. MORNING. "This year you shall die." Jer 28:16 I have often thought this passage, pronounced on the lying prophet, a most suitable sermon for a birthday portion, to be spoken in the ears of the sinner: and if qualified with the possibility and probability which arise out of our dying circums...

APRIL 8. MORNING.-"He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."-Philip. ii. 8. My soul, dost thou not feel, at every step towards Calvary, somewhat of the angel's words when he cried, "One woe is past, and behold there come two woes more hereafter?" Rev. ix. 12. ... Read More

AUGUST 24. EVENING. "And God said, 'Ask! What shall I give you?'" 1 Kings 3:5 My honoured Lord! May I not, with all humbleness of soul, apply what was here said to Solomon, in the Old Testament dispensation, as said to all your redeemed under the New Testament grace? Did you not say, Lord! "And in t... Read More

November 28. MORNING. "For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly."
