Good evening, brethren. 1. Do you pray in the evening? Our evening prayer focuses on "Resting in God's peace." 2. Do you know the root of gratitude? 3. Do you know that husband & wife are one in the Lord? 4. Are you ashamed & afraid of sin? To know more, read the message below: 1. Evening Prayer Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee. ⏤ Isaiah 26:3 In prayer, it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. ⏤ John Bunyan We thank You, our Father in Heaven, for the love that always shines upon us from Your face. We thank You for the quietness and peace that surround us at this evening hour. May the deep peace of Heaven fill our hearts. Teach us the lesson of quietness and confidence, and help us to rest in the assurance of Your love. Our hearts go out in compassion for the world. Lives are degraded and debased. All creation groans and labors in pain together. We long to do something to help this sinning world, to lift it out of its bondage. Show us what we can do. Give us true pity for the lost. May we have something of Jesus’ compassion, who gave His life to redeem the lost. We also think of the world’s sorrow. Everywhere we look, we see grief. Hearts are breaking. Homes are mourning. Teach us to sympathize with the sorrowing everywhere, and help us to do something to lighten the burdens of affliction and to comfort those who are grieving. Accept what we have done today for You. Our work may seem small in human eyes, but to You, nothing is small when it’s done in the name of Jesus. Take our small acts, our gentle deeds, our expressions of sympathy, and use them to make the world holier and sweeter. May they set off influences that will continue forever, spreading from heart to heart. Keep us safe through the hours of unconsciousness. Let no harm befall our home. May our first thought upon waking be of You. Bless us and prepare us for the duties and experiences of the new day. We ask all these favors in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/54/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. The Root of Ingratitude. Although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:21) When gratitude springs up in the human heart toward God, he is magnified as the wealthy source of our blessing. He is acknowledged as giver and benefactor and therefore as glorious. But when gratitude does not spring up in our hearts at God’s great goodness to us, it probably means that we don’t want to pay him a compliment; we don’t want to magnify him as our benefactor. And there is a very good reason that human beings by nature do not want to magnify God with thanksgiving or glorify him as their benefactor. The reason is that it detracts from our own glory, and all people by nature love their own glory more than the glory of God. At the root of all ingratitude is the love of one’s own greatness. For genuine gratitude admits that we are beneficiaries of an unearned bequest. We are cripples leaning on the cross-shaped crutch of Jesus Christ. We are paralytics living minute by minute in the iron lung of God’s mercy. We are children asleep in heaven’s stroller. The natural person, apart from saving grace, hates to think of himself in these images: unworthy beneficiary, cripple, paralytic, child. They rob him of his glory by giving it all to God. Therefore, while a man loves his own glory, and prizes his self-sufficiency, and hates to think of himself as sin-sick and helpless, he will never feel genuine gratitude to the true God and so will never magnify God as he ought, but only himself. Jesus said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:17). Jesus did not come to minister to those who insist they are well. He demands something great: that we admit we are not great. This is bad news to the arrogant, but words of honey to those who have given up their charade of self-sufficiency and are seeking God. 3. Skip to content Daily Wisdom Bible Study Chronological Bible Study from the book of Proverbs Posted onNovember 27, 2025 by Christian Channel Husband and Wife are One Within the Community – (Proverbs 31:23-24) Husband and Wife are One Within the Community Daily Proverbs Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies sashes for the merchants. – (Proverbs 31:23-24) Daily Bible Study As we seen in the previous passages the wife’s faithfulness to her family and her responsibilities resulted in multiplied fruitfulness and blessings for the family. Fruitfulness which brought blessings to the poor as well as those who worked with her in the home. Now in addition to those blessings, we see that her husband was also involved within the community and himself was a leader within the city. Often in ancient times the respected men who were elders and leaders sat at the city gates. The city gates were the city hall of its day; therefore anyone who needed advice or had a problem or an issue with their neighbor went to the city gates for advice and resolution. And from this passage we see that a godly wife paired with a godly husband both working together had a dramatic effect on their community. They provided a godly influence in the community in which they lived. The husband was known for his wisdom and sat at the city gates, the wife was known for her wisdom and skill. And what we see here is she supplied goods to merchants who in turn sold those goods and the city prospered from their activities. These verses paint the picture of the absolute ideal intended for marriage. The passages are given to us in order for us to understand that godly men and women, who become godly husbands and wives not only affect each other, but also their children and they greatly affect the community in which they live.

Skip to content Tozer devotional Tozer Devotional Posted onNovember 28, 2025 by editor Ashamed Of Sin Brethren, I am not ashamed of this world God created—I am only ashamed of man’s sin! If you could take all of man’s sin out of this world, there would be nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be afraid of. Our apologies must be for humanity—and for our sins. I keep repeating that we have no business making excuses for God. It is popular now to talk about Christ being a guest here. I dare to tell people that they should stop patronizing Jesus Christ! He is not the guest here—He is the Host! We have apologists who write books and give lectures, apologizing for the person of Christ, trying to “explain” to our generation that the Bible does not really mean “exactly” what it says. But God has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ; thus, we know where we stand, believing that all things were made by Him and “without Him was not anything made that was made.” Verse Verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity . . . Surely every man walketh in a vain shew. Psalm 39:5–6 Thought If you could take all of man’s sin out of this world, there would be nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to be afraid of. Prayer Lord, You are the creator and loving host of all men while we live here on this earth. We could never find fault in that which you have created—only in the sin with which we have defaced the creation you gave us.
