Good evening, brethren. 1. Do you pray in the evening? Our evening prayer focuses on "Accepting our burden." 2. Do you know five reasons why death is gain? 3. Do you know that the best is yet to come? 4. Do you know that lyst can destroy us despite our wisdom? To know more, read the message below: 1. Evening Prayer Come unto me, all [ye] that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ⏤ Matthew 11:28 Prayer does not fit us for the greater work; prayer is the greater work. ⏤ Oswald Chambers O God, You have taught us in Your holy word to cast our burdens upon You, promising that You will sustain us. We come to You this evening with our burdens. You’ve given them to us as gifts, so we know there must be a blessing hidden within each one. Help us to accept our burdens and receive the gifts they carry. Let us not complain or grumble under them, lest we miss the blessings You’ve prepared for us. You haven’t promised to take our burdens away, for that would rob us of the blessings You’ve lovingly prepared. But You have promised to sustain us and give us the strength to bear them. So our prayer is that You would give us the grace to accept whatever burdens You’ve placed upon us, to carry whatever crosses You’ve given us, and to bear them after our Savior, trusting in quiet faith. At the close of this day, we bring You our sincere gratitude and praise for Your goodness. Your love never tires, Your patience never runs out, Your grace never fails. We grieve You with our many sins, our unbelief, and our complaining. Have mercy on us and forgive us for Jesus’ sake. Grant us an evening blessing from Your hand. Give us Your peace, strengthen us with Your might, and prepare us for any duty or struggle that lies ahead. Crush Satan under our feet. Jesus, You have overcome the world, and in Your victory, You are our defense and refuge. So we hide in You, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land. Bless us for Your name’s sake. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/46/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. Five Reasons Death Is Gain. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. (Philippians 1:21) How is it “gain” to die? 1) Our spirits will be made perfect (Hebrews 12:22–23). But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect. There will be no more sin in us. We will be done with the inner war and the heartrending disappointments of offending the Lord who loved us and gave himself for us. 2) We will be relieved of the pain of this world (Luke 16:24–25). The joy of the resurrection will not yet be ours, but the joy of freedom from pain will be. Jesus tells the story of Lazarus and the rich man to show the great reversal that is coming at death. “[The rich man] called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.’” 3) We will be given profound rest in our souls (Revelation 6:9–11). There will be a serenity beneath the eye and care of God that surpasses anything we have known here on the softest summer evening by the most peaceful lake at our most happy moments. I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer. 4) We will experience a deep at-homeness (2 Corinthians 5:8). Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. The whole human race is homesick for God, without knowing it. When we go home to Christ, there will be a contentment beyond any sense of security and peace we have ever known. 5) We will be with Christ (Philippians 1:21–23). Christ is a more wonderful person than anyone on earth. He is wiser, stronger, and kinder than anyone you enjoy spending time with. He is endlessly interesting. He knows exactly what to do and what to say at every moment to make his guests as glad as they can possibly be. He overflows in love and with infinite insight into how to use that love to make his loved ones feel loved. Therefore Paul said, For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 3. The Best is Yet to Come! : https://todaydevotional.com/devotions/the-best-is-yet-to-come?embedded. 4. Skip to content Daily Wisdom Bible Study Chronological Bible Study from the book of Proverbs Posted onNovember 19, 2025 by Christian Channel Lust Can Destroy Us, Despite Our Wisdom – (Proverbs 31:1-3) Lust Can Destroy Us, Despite Our Wisdom – (Proverbs 31:1-3) Daily Proverbs The words of King Lemuel, the utterance which his mother taught him: What, my son? And what, son of my womb? And what, son of my vows? Do not give your strength to women, nor your ways to that which destroys kings. Daily Bible Study This chapter of Proverbs consists of two poems, one is of the wise king and the other is of the excellent wife. They both portray godly women as their main focus. King Lemuel is unknown to history; however Jewish tradition says this is really King Solomon. In this verse from the first poem we see the advice, "not to give our strength to women." This was advice from a wise mother of the future king. The key to this verse is the word "women." This verse is not speaking of man and wife or a monogamous relationship. Instead, it is speaking against multiple women or mistresses, concubines as the Old Testament called a harem of women. And unfortunately we know from history that this was the one piece of advice King Solomon refused to follow. One of the things which destroyed King Solomon was his many wives. He started out well with wisdom from the Lord; however, he married over six hundred women from many pagan people groups, in addition to having several hundred concubines. Many of these were marriage alliances with other kingdoms. However, these marriage alliances were against the Lord's commandments to Solomon. As a result, they drew his heart away from God. So what this verse is warning against is a man who has many girlfriends, or the man who is married and has mistresses is destroying his own life. Doing this will not only lead to one's own destruction, in addition in God's eyes this is adultery. We have to remember right and wrong is set by what God determines and not by the social tolerance of the society we live in. Therefore sin will always create consequences, not only in our lives, but also in the lives of those around us.
