Description
Over the last century, countless Christians have started and ended their day with Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon. The author’s command of the English language, Biblical wisdom, and practical guidance through life’s ups and downs remains timeless and relevant to the modern day. The elegance of his prose is further brought to life now in this podcast form while retaining the beautiful language of the original King James Version, as it was originally written. From time to time, you will also hear Spurgeon experts and additional resources to add further insight and commentary on this classic tome and its author. While Spurgeon published a plethora of sermons, articles and books, Morning and Evening remains his best loved and most published work. ClassicDevotionals.com is both pleased and privileged to be the first one to bring you a daily devotional reading of this timeless book in podcast form. We hope you enjoy it and are encouraged in your walk with Christ.

“I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse.” — Song of Solomon 5:1 The heart of the believer is Christ’s garden. He bought it with His precious blood, and He enters it and claims it as His own. A garden implies separation. It is not the open common; it is not a wilderness; […]
“Thy Redeemer.” — Isaiah 54:5 Jesus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever. All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate Him as ours under that name […]
“Help, Lord.” — Psalm 12:1 The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication — when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have […]
“And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish.” — John 10:28 The Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief. For a child of God to mistrust His love, His truth, His faithfulness, must be greatly displeasing to Him. How can we ever grieve Him by doubting His upholding grace? […]
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” — Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation.” Here is personal interest, “my light,” “my salvation”; the soul is assured of it, and therefore declares it […]
“He openeth, and no man shutteth.” — Revelation 3:7 Jesus is the keeper of the gates of paradise and before every believing soul He setteth an open door, which no man or devil shall be able to close against it. What joy it will be to find that faith in Him is the golden key […]
“And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.” — Genesis 21:6 It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that […]
“O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face… because we have sinned against Thee.” — Daniel 9:8 A deep sense and clear sight of sin, its heinousness, and the punishment which it deserves, should make us lie low before the throne. We have sinned as Christians. Alas! that it should be so. Favoured as we […]
“Delight thyself also in the Lord.” — Psalm 37:4 The teaching of these words must seem very surprising to those who are strangers to vital godliness, but to the sincere believer it is only the inculcation of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is here described as a delight in God, and we […]
“Remove far from me vanity and lies.” — Proverbs 30:8 “O my God, be not far from me.” Psalm 38:21. Here we have two great lessons — what to deprecate and what to supplicate. The happiest state of a Christian is the holiest state. As there is the most heat nearest to the sun, so […]
“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” — Revelation 22:17 Jesus says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and no repentance, — […]
“Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling.” — 2 Timothy 1:9 The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.” Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already […]
“Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.” — Daniel 5:27 It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God’s Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, “Can I say this? Have I […]
“There brake He the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.” — Psalm 76:3 Our Redeemer’s glorious cry of “It is finished,” was the death-knell of all the adversaries of His people, the breaking of “the and the battle.” Behold the hero of Golgotha using His cross as an anvil, […]
“They are they which testify of Me.” — John 5:39 Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of the Bible. He is the constant theme of its sacred pages; from first to last they testify of Him. At the creation we at once discern Him as one of the sacred Trinity; we catch a glimpse […]
“We live unto the Lord.” — Romans 14:8 If God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should tarry here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven, and to be found […]
“Search the Scriptures.” — John 5:39 The Greek word here rendered search signifies a strict, close, diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold, or hunters when they are in earnest after game. We must not rest content with having given a superficial reading to a chapter or two, but with […]
“The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.” — Psalm 126:3 Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and […]
“Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” — Numbers 11:23 God had made a positive promise to Moses that for the space of a whole month He would feed the vast host in the wilderness with flesh. Moses, being overtaken by a fit of unbelief, looks to […]
“There fell down many slain, because the war was of God.” — 1 Chronicles 5:22 Warrior, fighting under the banner of the Lord Jesus, observe this verse with holy joy, for as it was in the days of old so is it now, if the war be of God the victory is sure. The sons […]
