Help My Unbelief
I got a new book in the mail today, “The Hymns of Philip Doddridge”, which contains over 300 hymns written in the early to mid-18th century (Doddridge was born in 1702 and died in 1751). As I paged through it this morning I found this hymn which ties in to my previous post. It turns…

The Beauty of Prayer
One of the best things in starting a new year is the chance to start afresh with a new yearly devotional book. I must admit, I’m much better at starting these than finishing them, but they are there throughout the year, specifically dated so you can always pick up right where you’re supposed to be. …

Praise the Lord!
I’m reading from the Psalms today, 146 – 148, part of the closing section of five Psalms dedicated to praise. Each one starts and ends with the exhortation to “Praise the LORD! Here’s how each opens: Psalm 146:1,2 Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD, O my soul! I will praise the LORD as long as…

Praise the LORD!
One Psalm, three great hymns. Read Psalm 117 in all its brevity, and then see how two different hymn writers interpreted it. The hymns came from C H Spurgeon’s Our Own Hymn-Book. Psalm 117 Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of…

Profit-based priorities
How often do we struggle with our priorities in life? How do we respond to these struggles, and allocate our time appropriately? Here’s a quote on the subject from today’s reading in “Voices From The Past”, Puritan Devotional Readings, page 128. “In worldly concerns, men discern their opportunities, and are careful to improve them before…

Humility 101
Here’s a quote from today’s reading in “Voices From The Past” Humble souls may groan under affliction, they will not grumble when things are calm. Proud hearts may speak of patience, but in the storm it is the humble heart that exercises patience. I am afflicted says the humble soul, but it is mercy I…
