Evening, September 24
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.  — Matthew 13:44
Dawn 2 Dusk
A Treasure Worth the Dirt on Your Hands

Jesus tells a story about someone stumbling upon a hidden treasure and responding with joyful urgency—reordering everything to make that treasure their own. The point isn’t the field or the surprise; it’s the value of the Kingdom and the kind of wholehearted response it awakens in a person who truly sees.

Seeing What’s Really There

Sometimes the Kingdom is right under the surface of an ordinary day—hidden in plain sight until God opens our eyes. Jesus said, “He who has ears, let him hear.” (Matthew 13:9). The difference isn’t that some people have access and others don’t; the difference is whether we’re willing to listen closely enough to recognize what God is doing and saying.

The Spirit often disrupts our assumptions with a holy “What if this is worth everything?” Paul wrote, “The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God… he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14). Ask God to sharpen your spiritual senses today. Not to find novelty—but to recognize glory.

Joy That Lets Go

The man in Jesus’ parable doesn’t sell everything with clenched teeth. He does it with joy. That’s a piercing question for us: what does my obedience sound like—grudging duty or glad surrender? Jesus later said, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24). Self-denial isn’t misery; it’s making room for a greater love.

Letting go is rarely about “stuff” alone. Sometimes it’s reputation, control, comfort, old resentments, or the right to be first. And yet Jesus promises real life on the other side: “Whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25). The Kingdom isn’t one more obligation—it’s the only treasure that can hold your whole heart without crushing it.

Buying the Field: Faith with Feet

The man acts. He doesn’t merely admire the treasure; he reorders his life around it. Scripture presses this same point: “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” (James 1:22). There’s a kind of “spiritual appreciation” that never changes our calendar, our spending, our relationships, our private habits. But real faith moves.

So what would it look like to “buy the field” today? Maybe it’s confessing a sin you’ve been managing, making peace where you’ve been nursing distance, prioritizing worship and the Word over entertainment, or giving generously where fear has ruled. Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33). The call is simple: place the treasure first—and trust God with what follows.

Father, thank You for the surpassing worth of Your Kingdom; open my eyes, fill me with joy, and help me obey quickly today for Your glory. Amen.

Evening with A.W. Tozer
In the Pursuit of God - Introduction

Here is a masterly study of the inner life by a heart thirsting after God, eager to grasp at least the outskirts of His ways, the abyss of His love for sinners, and the height of His unapproachable majesty--and it was written by a busy pastor in Chicago! Who could imagine David writing the twenty-third Psalm on South Halsted Street, or a medieval mystic finding inspiration in a small study on the second floor of a frame house on the vast, flat checkerboard of endless streets - Where cross the crowded ways of life - Where sound the cries of race and clan, In haunts of wretchedness and need, On shadowed threshold dark with fears, And paths where hide the lures of greed... But even as Dr. Frank Mason North, of New York, says in his immortal poem, so Mr. Tozer says in this book: `Above the noise of selfish strife we hear Thy voice, O Son of Man.' My acquaintance with the author is limited to brief visits and loving fellowship in his church. There I discovered a self-made scholar, an omnivorous reader with a remarkable library of theological and devotional books, and one who seemed to burn the midnight oil in pursuit of God. His book is the result of long meditation and much prayer. It is not a collection of sermons. It does not deal with the pulpit and the pew but with the soul a thirst for God.

The chapters could be summarized in Moses' prayer, `Show me thy glory,' or Paul's exclamation, `O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!' It is theology not of the head but of the heart. There is deep insight, sobriety of style, and a catholicity of outlook that is refreshing. The author has few quotations but he knows the saints and mystics of the centuries--Augustine, Nicholas of Cusa, Thomas Kempis, von Hagel, Finney, Wesley and many more. The ten chapters are heart searching and the prayers at the close of each are for the closet, not pulpit. I felt the nearness of God while reading them. Here is a book for every pastor, missionary, and devouted Christian. It deals with the deep things of God and the riches of His grace. Above all, it has the keynote of sincerity and humility.

Christ’s Coming to the World ~ I

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And he that heareth, let him say. Come. - Revelation 22:17

The two halves of this verse do not refer to the same persons or the same "coming." The first portion as an invocation or a prayer; the second portion is an invitation or an offer. The one is addressed to Christ, the other to men. The commentary upon the former is the last words of the Book, where we find the seer answering the promise of his Master: "Behold! I come quickly!" with the sigh of longing: "Even so! Come! Lord Jesus." And in precisely a similar fashion the bride here, longing for the presence of the bridegroom, answers His promise: " Behold, I come quickly!" which occurs a verse or two before, with the petition which all who hear it are bidden to swell till it rolls in a great wave of supplication to His feet.

And then with that coming, another " coming" is connected. The one is the coming of Christ to the world at last; the other is the coming of men to Christ now. The double office of the Church is represented here, the voice that rose in petition to Heaven has to sound upon earth in proclamation. And the double relation of Christ to His Church is implied here. He is absent, therefore He is prayed to come; but He is in such a fashion present as that any who will can come to Him. He will come again; but ere He does, and because He will, men are invited to approach Him now, and if we do, to our hearts, too. His appearing will be a joy and not a terror. And the sweetness of His presence with us amidst the shows of time will be perfected by the glories of our presence with Him when He comes at last.

Christ has come, Christ will come. These are the two great facts from which, as from two golden hooks, the whole chain of human history hangs in a mighty curve. The one fills all the past, the other should brighten all the future. Memory should feed upon the one, hope should leap up to grasp the other. And so closely are these two connected as that the former is incomplete and ineffectual without the latter. He has come, therefore He will come.

And that coming is to be in bodily form, even as the angels said: "This Jesus shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go." What was the likeness? The differences are enormous: He came in weakness; He will come in power. He came in humiliation; He will come in glory. He came to redeem; He will come to judge. But the similarity is this, that as in true bodily form He truly entered into human conditions, and walked amongst men upon earth, having a local habitation and a name amongst us, so He comes again in no metaphor, in no ideal fashion, but in simple corporeal reality, once more manifest and visible amongst the children of earth.

He came in obscurity, stealing into the world with but a handful of poor shepherds for the witnesses. He will come, "and every eye shall see Him." He will come in a body no less truly human, no less really corporeal, but in a body of glory, which shall fitly manifest and ray out the indwelling of Divinity. And He comes for judgment, and He comes to perfect the union between Himself and all humble hearts that love Him and trust Him.

Spurgeon: Morning and Evening

Songs 5:2  I sleep, but my heart waketh.

Paradoxes abound in Christian experience, and here is one--the spouse was asleep, and yet she was awake. He only can read the believer's riddle who has ploughed with the heifer of his experience. The two points in this evening's text are--a mournful sleepiness and a hopeful wakefulness. I sleep. Through sin that dwelleth in us we may become lax in holy duties, slothful in religious exercises, dull in spiritual joys, and altogether supine and careless. This is a shameful state for one in whom the quickening Spirit dwells; and it is dangerous to the highest degree. Even wise virgins sometimes slumber, but it is high time for all to shake off the bands of sloth. It is to be feared that many believers lose their strength as Samson lost his locks, while sleeping on the lap of carnal security. With a perishing world around us, to sleep is cruel; with eternity so near at hand, it is madness. Yet we are none of us so much awake as we should be; a few thunder-claps would do us all good, and it may be, unless we soon bestir ourselves, we shall have them in the form of war, or pestilence, or personal bereavements and losses. O that we may leave forever the couch of fleshly ease, and go forth with flaming torches to meet the coming Bridegroom! My heart waketh. This is a happy sign. Life is not extinct, though sadly smothered. When our renewed heart struggles against our natural heaviness, we should be grateful to sovereign grace for keeping a little vitality within the body of this death. Jesus will hear our hearts, will help our hearts, will visit our hearts; for the voice of the wakeful heart is really the voice of our Beloved, saying, "Open to me." Holy zeal will surely unbar the door.

"Oh lovely attitude! He stands

With melting heart and laden hands;

My soul forsakes her every sin;

And lets the heavenly stranger in."

Spurgeon: Faith’s Checkbook
The Life-Giving Stream

- Ezekiel 47:9

The living waters, in the prophet’s vision, flowed into the Dead Sea and carried life with them, even into that stagnant lake. Where grace goes, spiritual life is the immediate and the everlasting consequence. Grace proceeds sovereignly according to the will of God, even as a river in all its windings follows its own sweet will; and wherever it comes it does not wait for life to come to it, but it creates life by its own quickening flow. Oh, that it would pour along our streets and flood our slums! Oh, that it would now come into my house and rise till every chamber were made to swim with it! LORD, let the living water flow to my family and my friends, and let it not pass me by. I hope I have drunk of it already; but I desire to bathe in it, yea, to swim in it. O my Savior, I need life more abundantly. Come to me, I pray Thee, till every part of my nature is vividly energetic and intensely active. Living God, I pray Thee, fill me with Thine own life.

I am a poor, dry stick; come and make me so to live that, like Aaron’s rod, I may bud and blossom and bring forth fruit unto Thy glory. Quicken me, for the sake of my LORD Jesus. Amen.

The Believer’s Daily Remembrancer
In the Mount of the Lord It Shall Be Seen

JEHOVAH has provided supplies for His people. He arranges the bestowment of them, and hears and answers prayer for them. He may allow them to come into trials, dangers, and troubles; but "in the mount the Lord will be seen," He will show Himself as rigidly faithful to His word; as kind and merciful in all His dealings; as attentive to the wants and wishes of His people; as ready to supply them, and display His love and power in delivering them. In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen that Satan is a liar; that our fears were all groundless; that unbelief is a great sin; that prayer shall surely be answered; that faith and hope shall not be disappointed; that Jesus is touched with the feeling of our infirmities; and that none shall be ashamed who trust in, wait for, and obey the commands of the Most High God. Beloved, we have seen the Lord in the mount of trial we have found it turned into the mount of mercy, and we shall see Him on the mount of glory

’Tis in the mount the Lord is seen;

And all His saints shall surely find,

Though clouds and darkness intervene,

He still is gracious, still is kind.

Yes, in the mount, the Lord makes bare

His mighty, His delivering power

Displays a Father’s tender care,

In the most trying, darkest hour

Bible League: Living His Word
"I will surely bless you and give you as many descendants as the stars in the sky. There will be as many people as sand on the seashore. And your people will live in cities that they will take from their enemies. Every nation on the earth will be blessed through your descendants. I will do this because you obeyed Me."
— Genesis 22։17-18 ERV

Obedience means to believe and to wait. We often talk about obedience in the church. Obedience is probably something which is the most complex and poorly understood. What does it mean to obey God?

We can see the man Abraham from the Bible as a great example of a man who had obedience to God. Some Christians explain that the uniqueness of Abraham was because of God's choice. In other words, God chose him and that is why he was special. But this is not true. People who think or explain this way aim at defending or justifying human laziness.

The Word of God clearly teaches that Abraham simply obeyed God in a situation where normally no one would obey. Obedience is required only when we see a conflict between God's will and our own desire or between God's will and even our own needs. In other words, sometimes we need to obey when we are going to do something that God does not want or when God commands us to do something that we don't want to do.

I think that obedience means to believe and to wait - to believe in God's promises and to trust Him, to wait for God. These are just words that come from the heart of a person who knows God. To obey the Lord Jesus means to accept every situation from God and to glorify only Him. Obedience to God has special power, special blessings in it. As God's faithful children, we obey Him even if we are about to cross the road of death.

In 44 days of terrible wartime in 2020, I learned to wait on God and obey Him. When I was going to the front line, there were many guys in the truck. We were going at night with the lights off. When we were near the front line, slowly two or three people were getting down to different places. And the more we drove, the more the boys started hurrying to get down, because they realized that the farther we went, the more difficult the way back would be. Suddenly I wanted to take a step, but I could not. I realized that God did not want me to get down early, as if He was saying, "Don't worry, I have prepared a better place for you."

When I reached my place, it became clear that it was the worst place, the most dangerous, and there had already been seven victims a day before. I did not understand why God brought me there, but I also had no choice. But God kept me and taught me to obey Him. God not only saved me, but together with me, He saved about sixty guys there. Only at the end did I realize that God had led me there to save those boys, and I was just a tool in His mighty hands.

When we obey God, we allow Him to fulfill His plans in our lives and, more importantly, in the lives of others.

Let us obey the Lord and He will say to us also, "the nations will be blessed though you, because you heard my voice and obeyed me."

Tyndale Life Application Daily Devotion
When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths.
Insight
Everyone wants to be wise. Yet Paul taught the Corinthians that true wisdom or discernment requires the believer to be guided by the Holy Spirit. Because Satan's greatest impact on us occurs when he decieves us, we need the Holy Spirit's help. Spiritual discernment enables us to draw conclusions based on God's perspective, make wise decisions in difficult circumstances, recognize the activities of God's Spirit, distinguish the correct and incorrect use of Scripture, and identify and expose false teachers.
Challenge
Ask God to give you his discernment as you serve him. Let that discernment guide you in your daily walk.

Peace Be Unto You!

John 20:19 , John 20:21 , John 20:26

No other benediction that could fall upon the ears of men, could mean more than this: “Peace be unto you!” This is a restless, striving, struggling world. Nation wars with nation. Business interests are in antagonism with other business interests. There are race wars which sometimes seem utterly unappeasable until one or the other race has been exterminated. Then there are family feuds which sometimes go on for generations in deadly enmity. And there are personal quarrels, alienations, strifes, which separate friends. Besides all this, there is a restlessness in human hearts. Men are unhappy and not at peace in themselves. There is strife within the bosom of nearly everyone.

No word Christ ever spoke caught more ears than when He said, “Come unto me ... and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), or “Peace be unto you!” His words answered a universal need and a universal yearning.

“Peace be unto you!” This was the first word the risen Christ spoke to His disciples as a body after He returned from the grave. This gives special significance to what He said. Three different times He spoke the same words, “Peace be unto you!” twice the evening of the day on which He rose, and once the following week. Yet, while He used precisely the same words, they had a different meaning each time, and were not merely a repetition.

Look at the setting of the benediction as He first uttered it. It was evening. The disciples had sought the quiet and safety of the upper room for a meeting together. The doors were carefully shut, for fear of the Jews. The little company was in sore dread of those who had crucified their Master. “Jesus ... stood in the midst, and said unto them, Peace be unto you! And when he said that, he showed unto them His hands and His side.” Why did He show them His hands and His side? Because of the WOUNDS. He reminded them of His sufferings, through which alone peace could come to them.

The second use of the words was a few minutes later. “Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you!” Then He added, “As my Father has sent me, even so I send you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, Receive the Holy Spirit.” Here the benediction of peace, is accompanied by the gift of the Spirit. There can be no true, deep peace in us except when the Holy Spirit holds sway in our hearts.

The third time the benediction was given: “A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you!’ Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.’” Here the purpose of the benediction was to help Thomas’ slow faith.

“Peace be unto you!” The spirit of Christianity is all in the direction of peace. There is a picture called “Peace” which is suggestive. It shows a cannon lying in a meadow, in the grass, with a lamb feeding beside it, nibbling at its very mouth. But while the picture is beautiful, it is incomplete. The cannon, which once was used in war, dealing death, is still a cannon, useless but ready to be used again in the old way. The prophet suggests a more fitting and complete picture when he says in his vision of the redeemed nation, “They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” (Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3). That is the kind of peace Christ would make. The sword shall no longer be a sword, though rusty and unused but shall be made into a plowshare, doing its work for humanity. In the artist’s picture would be truer to the spirit of Christianity, if the cannon were not merely lying in the meadow, with the lamb feeding quietly beside it but instead was made into church bells to call the people to the house of God.

The peace which our Master would make is not merely the laying down of arms but a peace which shall bring good to both nations and restore them to fellowship. Christian peace is not merely a drawn battle, with the old bitterness remaining. The bitterness must be swallowed up in love. If two have been estranged through misunderstanding, or by whatever cause, Christ’s peace leads them together in a new friendship which forgets the past and wipes out all traces of difference in a relationship of love.

“Peace I leave with you!” This was the Master’s bequest to His friends. He did not leave them gold and silver. He did not entail great estates upon them. He had none of these to leave. In His life on earth, the birds were better off than He, for in the world His hands had made He had nowhere to lay His head. When He died He had no grave in which His body might rest, and would have been buried in the potter’s field, amid criminals and outcasts, had not a noble friend rescued Him from that ignominy and lent Him a new rock-hewn tomb, for the three days and nights He slept. He was poor, and had no earthly inheritance to bequeath. But He left peace as a heritage. “Peace I leave with you!”

“MY peace I give unto you!” (14:27) It was not merely peace but His own peace, that He bequeathed to His friends. “My peace”! Think what Christ’s peace was. It was the peace that He had had in His heart and life all His days. You know how serenely He met all experiences. He never lost His quietness and composure in any circumstances. Life had no terrors for Him. His was not an easy life. Soon after His public ministry began, opposition began, developing into bitter enmity, with plottings and schemings for His death. But nothing disturbed Him. He was never fearful or alarmed. He knew what was before Him. The cross threw its dark shadows on His path long before He reached it. But with unruffled peace He moved on toward it. “My peace I give unto you!” It is possible for Christ’s followers to have the same peace the Master had. He bequeaths it to them let them claim their inheritance. He gives it to them let them accept the gift.

But why is it that so many Christians do not have this peace ? What restless lives many of us live! Some of us scarcely ever have an hour of real peace. We fret at every trifle. We allow ourselves to be annoyed by the smallest things that do not go as we want them to go. We are full of discontents and complainings. We are envious at the prosperity of others. We vex ourselves over the things that are disagreeable in even the least way. We are continually dismayed by life’s experiences. We are afraid to live and afraid to die. Is that the best that Christ can do for us? Is that the full meaning of His words here, “Peace be unto you; Peace I leave with you; My peace I give unto you”? Is that all that our religion can do for us?

No! Jesus meant just what He said. He means for us to have His peace. We may have it too. He shows us His hands and says, “Peace be unto you! I have purchased peace for you.” He breathes on us His divine Spirit, and says, “Peace be unto you!” Let the peace of God into your heart today. You have had enough of restlessness, fret, anxiety and struggle. Let Christ’s peace rule.

“Peace be unto you!” “My peace I give unto you!” When men have fought for their country, loyal patriots, and when the war is over, and the victory won, those who survive come home with wounds and scars, maimed and broken, and those who look upon them see the price of the peace which the country is enjoying. Let us not forget that the peace which Christ gives, cost Him suffering and shame and death. We have peace because He went to His cross!

In a gallery in Europe, two pictures hang side by side. One is of a sea swept by storms great waves, black clouds, lightning bolts, and on the wild water wrecks of vessels, with human forms struggling or dead. The artists calls His picture, “Life”.

Hanging beside this picture is another, almost the same a rough sea, billows, clouds, lightnings, wrecks, men struggling in the waters. In the center of this picture, however, a great rock rises up out of the wild sea, reaching above the highest waves, standing serene and firm in the midst of the storm. Then in the rock, far up, is a cleft of herbage and flowers growing, and as you look closely, you see in the midst of the herbage a dove sitting quietly on her nest. The artist calls His picture “Peace.”

It represents the Christian’s life. In the world there is tribulation. Peace does not come through the quieting of earth’s storms. Christ does not make a little spot of calm for us, shutting off the storms. No! that rock rising above the waves tells the story.

It is peace in the midst of the storm, in Christ. We have it in the hymn, “Rock of Ages, cleft for me; Let me hide myself in Thee!”

The Christian has no promise of less sorrow than his worldly neighbor; or of an easier life, a life without struggle, pain, or buffeting. You remember how Christ got His peace not by living in a little paradise but in the enduring of all manner of suffering calmly and quietly. His peace was within. We must get our peace on fields of struggle. It must come through Christ’s victory over the world. It must be Christ’s gift. It must be in our heart.

President Eliot, of Harvard University, said this at the dedication of an art gallery: “The main object in every school should be, not to provide the children with means of earning a livelihood but to show them how to live a happy and worthy life, inspired by noble ideals which will exalt and dignify both labor and leisure. To see beauty and to live it is to possess large securities for such a life.”

To live only to get bread and clothes is a groveling aim. To live only to make money, to get on in the world, is an unworthy aim for an immortal being. We live worthily only when we live to grow into beautiful character and to do beautiful things of love. Peace is the highest mark of spiritual beauty.

There is a German legend of the origin of the moss rose. One day the angel of the flowers, weary in his ministry in the heat of the sun, sought a place to rest but found none. Turned from every door, he lay down under the shelter of a rose, and slept and was refreshed. He thanked the rose for the pleasure and comfort he had enjoyed in its shade, and then said that, to reward it, he would adorn it with a new charm. So soft, green moss grew around the stem, and those who looked at the flower saw the beautiful moss rose, loveliest of all the roses. So to those who are faithful to Christ, He gives a new charm, life’s highest and most heavenly adornment, peace.

We should be at peace with all men. If there is bitterness toward any human being, our peace is not Christ’s peace. No matter what wrongs Jesus suffered, how unjustly or cruelly He was treated He kept love in His heart. It is easy to cherish resentments. We like to say we have a right to he angry. Yes but that is not the divine way. God forgives and forgets and loves on. Suppose God never forgave! Suppose He cherished resentments and refused to love us and to bless us! Let love heal all heart - hurts. If we think we have been treated wrongfully, let us forgive, and new beauty will come, instead of a scar. The storm made a great gash on the mountainside but grass, moss and flowers came, and the mountain was never so beautiful before as now it became.

We should have peace also in our own hearts. Why should we go on in the old restlessness and strife a day longer? Why should we worry so and fret when Christ offers us His own serene peace? No matter what may come to us in any possible future, nothing will come which could break our peace, if only we are obedient and true to God. There will be mysteries, contradictions, perplexities, disappointments but in all these a divine Hand will move and nothing can fret us if we are truly Christ’s. “The peace of God ... shall keep your hearts and your minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).
