Good evening, brethren. 1. Do you pray in the evening? Our evening prayer focuses on "Blessing and protection in friendship. 2. Children, do you hear the instructions of your parents? 3. Do you know that God God's grace is eternal? 4. Do you know the sovereignty of God? 1. Evening Prayer Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. ⏤ Proverbs 27:17 To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of the world. ⏤ Karl Barth Father in Heaven, we, Your children, come before You at this holy evening hour. Your blessings have followed us every day, and Your protection has sheltered us every night. We are weak, mere infants in this great world, but Your strength has always enfolded us, and Your love has always warmed our hearts. This evening, we seek new blessings. May Your holy love fill our hearts, and may the beauty of the Lord Jesus be upon us. We have encountered many people today. May the words we spoke to others, even in passing, not be lost or in vain. May they be as good seeds, growing beauty along the paths we have walked. If we have spoken wrong words, forgive us, and grant us an opportunity to say something good that will counteract the negative influence. Bless and sanctify the touches and influences that other lives have left upon us today. Let nothing be done that mars our character because of any wrong done to us or in us today. We ask You to bless and sanctify our friendships. Protect us from any friendships that would harm us, entangle us in unholy or hurtful relationships, or injure our character. We want personal friends who are holy, whose influence will be helpful and inspiring. Choose our friends for us, and help us to be true and faithful as friends. Help us to nurture our home affections and all our friendships, so that they become truer, deeper, and holier. Above all, may we always have You as our best and closest Friend, for Your love is everlasting. We ask all this in the name of our precious Savior. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/58/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. Skip to content Daily Wisdom Bible Study Chronological Bible Study from the book of Proverbs Posted onDecember 1, 2025 by Christian Channel Hear the Instruction of Your Parents (Proverbs 1:8-19) Hear the Instruction of Your Parents (Proverbs 1:8-19) Daily Proverbs My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them! Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take. Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.” My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths. They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder. If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away. But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed. Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life. Daily Bible Study Evil will always try to entice us with seemly free pleasures and gain. Evil will always paint the illusion that something good can be gotten for free with no work and no consequences; however that is never the case. Even if no one ever catches us, we pay a price in our soul. When we rebel against God, when we purposely sin and hurt others, we damage our own hearts. Every sin, as well as every action with bad intent, chips away at the fabric of our hearts, replacing flesh with stone. The end result of which is we feel a little less, we love a little less and we care a little less for those around us. Our character is influenced by the sin in our life and how closely we walk with God! And it doesn’t stop there, sin is never full! Sin is never satisfied because once it finishes transforming our hearts into stone it then moves on to destroy the rest of our lives. That’s the side effect of sin that no one ever talks about and you know why? Because sin always wants more! More hearts and more lives to destroy.

Skip to content Tozer devotional Tozer Devotional Posted onDecember 2, 2025 by editor God’s Grace Is Eternal It is a typical and accepted teaching in Christian churches today that Moses and the Old Testament knew only God’s law, and that Christ and the New Testament know only God’s grace. I repeat: that is the “accepted” teaching of the hour. But I also hasten to add that it is a mistaken concept, and it was never the concept held and taught by the early Christian Church fathers. God has always been the God of all grace, and He does not change. Immutability is an attribute of God; therefore, God at all times and in all of history must act like Himself! He is the God of all grace; therefore, the grace of God does not ebb and flow like the ocean tides. There has always been the fullness of grace in the heart of God. There is no more grace now than there was previously, and there will never be any more grace than there is now! The flow of God’s grace did not begin when Christ came to die for us. It was part of God’s ancient plan of redemption and was manifested in the blood and tears and pain and death at Calvary’s cross! Verse Much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Romans 5:15 Thought God has always been the God of all grace, and He does not change. Immutability is an attribute of God; therefore, God at all times and in all of history must act like Himself! Prayer Lord, It is such an amazing fact that Your grace abounds so freely to us. Help me to remember that You are always the same. Your amazing grace is always the same.

Sovereignty of God Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: and he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings - Daniel 2:20-21 God is sovereign, ruling over all creation. He is not only sovereign in his authority; he is sovereign over all wisdom (knowledge) and might (power). Power belongs to God and wisdom belongs to God. No one has either unless God grants it to them. The great comfort that Daniel draws from this truth is this: it is God who changes the times and seasons on earth, and it is God who removes and sets up kings according to his pleasure. We are often tempted to think inaccurately about these world events. We begin to think that the seasons change out of habit, because they have done so for thousands of years. However, this is not so. Because power and wisdom belong to God, even the changing of each season is a result of his active participation and guiding. We might also, especially in democratic societies, begin to think that rulers are set up or brought down by popular vote, or effective fundraising. But, as Daniel reminds himself, God is the one who casts the deciding vote for or against any ruler. He may allow ungodly rulers into power in order to fulfill his own purposes (as he did in the days of Habakkuk), but he is still good and he is still sovereign. The sovereignty of God leads Daniel to this exclamation of praise: blessed be the name of God for ever and ever! He is worthy of praise because he owns all wisdom and power, and he is forever worthy of praise because he will always be sovereign. http://www.baptistbiblehour.org/resources/devotional/sovereignty-of-god-10/.
