• Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, August 8

    "They weave the spider's web." Isaiah 59:5

    See the spider's web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite's religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape. Philip baptized Simon Magus, whose guileful declaration of faith was so soon exploded by the stern rebuke of Peter. Custom, reputation, praise, advancement, and other flies, are the small game which hypocrites take in their nets. A spider's web is a marvel of skill: look at it and admire the cunning hunter's wiles. Is not a deceiver's religion equally wonderful? How does he make so barefaced a lie appear to be a truth? How can he make his tinsel answer so well the purpose of gold? A spider's web comes all from the creature's own bowels. The bee gathers her wax from flowers, the spider sucks no flowers, and yet she spins out her material to any length. Even so hypocrites find their trust and hope within themselves; their anchor was forged on their own anvil, and their cable twisted by their own hands. They lay their own foundation, and hew out the pillars of their own house, disdaining to be debtors to the sovereign grace of God. But a spider's web is very frail. It is curiously wrought, but not enduringly manufactured. It is no match for the servant's broom, or the traveller's staff. The hypocrite needs no battery of Armstrongs to blow his hope to pieces, a mere puff of wind will do it. Hypocritical cobwebs will soon come down when the besom of destruction begins its purifying work. Which reminds us of one more thought, viz., that such cobwebs are not to be endured in the Lord's house: He will see to it that they and those who spin them shall be destroyed for ever. O my soul, be thou resting on something better than a spider's web. Be the Lord Jesus thine eternal hiding-place.

  • Whisperwing, the Spirit of Night Blooms

    Long ago, when the Earth was young and the stars were still learning to dance, there lived a guardian spirit named Whisperwing, a sacred night butterfly born of moonlight and flower dreams. Her wings shimmered with the glow of dusk, painted in deep blues and violets—colors only seen in the quietest part of night.

    Whisperwing was created by Lunoma, the Moon Maiden, to carry messages between the spirit world and the dreams of the living. She fluttered through midnight meadows and across sleeping forests, her wings stirring wind that whispered secrets into flowers, guiding lost souls home.

    Every petal she touched would bloom with sacred light, and every shadow she passed through would remember her path. The stars watched her in awe, calling her "The Silent Flame", for she burned with no fire, but illuminated hearts.

    It was said that if you saw Whisperwing in your dreams, your soul was being chosen—for healing, for transformation, or for a journey. Elders taught that when the crescent moon rose high and the air smelled of wild lavender, you must leave a bowl of water and flowers by your door. If Whisperwing passed, the petals would float, and a new path would open in your life by morning.

    To this day, her legend lives on. Many Native dreamweavers still embroider her wings onto their blankets and sing to her under starlit skies:

    "Fly, Whisperwing, through sky and root,
    Bearer of truth on violet flute.
    Where moonlight dances, there you roam,
    Guide our spirit gently home."

    And so she flies—forever between the veil of night and bloom, unseen, yet always felt.

  • Whispers Beneath the Moon

    In a meadow where the wildflowers glowed blue beneath the light of the full moon, two sisters stood side by side, their dark hair flowing like rivers of night. They were wrapped in sacred robes woven by their grandmother, stitched with strands of spirit and sky.

    Their names were Taya and Suni, daughters of the Moonwatcher Clan, known for their wisdom in reading the stars and listening to the whispers of the land. Tonight was no ordinary night. It was the Night of Remembering, when the veil between the past and present grew thin and the voices of the ancestors could be heard in the rustle of pine and the shimmer of stardust.

    As they gazed at the glowing moon, Taya whispered, “Can you hear them, Suni?”

    The younger sister nodded slowly. “They are singing.”

    The sky above swirled in purples and blues, the stars glittering like ancient eyes watching over them. A faint melody filled the air—not with instruments, but with memory. It was the song their mother used to sing at bedtime, the one passed down for generations. A lullaby of healing, of journeys across forests, of waiting under the moon for signs from the Great Spirit.

    Taya closed her eyes and placed a hand over her heart. “They are guiding us,” she said softly. “We are not alone.”

    Behind them, the forest stood like guardians, tall and silent. The sisters knew that tomorrow would bring challenges. The world outside their homeland was changing, forgetting, moving too fast. But here—beneath the moon—they remembered who they were.

    Daughters of the Earth. Carriers of old songs. Watchers of the sky.

    And in that sacred moment, the night sky pulsed with color, the stars danced a little brighter, and the spirits smiled—knowing that the story would live on through these two young souls.

    Evening, August 3

    "But as He went." Luke 8:42

    Jesus is passing through the throng to the house of Jairus, to raise the ruler's dead daughter; but He is so profuse in goodness that He works another miracle while upon the road. While yet this rod of Aaron bears the blossom of an unaccomplished wonder, it yields the ripe almonds of a perfect work of mercy. It is enough for us, if we have some one purpose, straightway to go and accomplish it; it were imprudent to expend our energies by the way. Hastening to the rescue of a drowning friend, we cannot afford to exhaust our strength upon another in like danger. It is enough for a tree to yield one sort of fruit, and for a man to fulfil his own peculiar calling. But our Master knows no limit of power or boundary of mission. He is so prolific of grace, that like the sun which shines as it rolls onward in its orbit, His path is radiant with lovingkindness. He is a swift arrow of love, which not only reaches its ordained target, but perfumes the air through which it flies. Virtue is evermore going out of Jesus, as sweet odours exhale from flowers; and it always will be emanating from Him, as water from a sparkling fountain. What delightful encouragement this truth affords us! If our Lord is so ready to heal the sick and bless the needy, then, my soul, be not thou slow to put thyself in His way, that He may smile on thee. Be not slack in asking, if He be so abundant in bestowing. Give earnest heed to His word now, and at all times, that Jesus may speak through it to thy heart. Where He is to be found there make thy resort, that thou mayst obtain His blessing. When He is present to heal, may He not heal thee? But surely He is present even now, for He always comes to hearts which need Him. And dost not thou need Him? Ah, He knows how much! Thou Son of David, turn Thine eye and look upon the distress which is now before Thee, and make Thy suppliant whole.

  • Hummingbird – The Spirit of Resilience and Light

    You are not small.
    You are the spark between heartbeats —
    The swift flash of spirit that defies the weight of the world.
    Born from the breath of the Sun and the whisper of flowers,
    You fly not by force, but by faith.

    You carry the memory of joy,
    The reminder that sweetness can still be found,
    Even in places where sorrow grows thick.
    Your wings hum like ancient drums,
    Beating the rhythm of life,
    Of persistence,
    Of returning — again and again — to what feeds the soul.

    You are the guardian of fleeting moments,
    The priestess of the now.
    While others chase horizons,
    You kiss the light that blooms in a single drop of morning dew.

    You are not directionless —
    You know exactly where to go.
    Across vast distances and violent winds,
    You return with purpose,
    Bearing the invisible threads of home.

    When grief has dulled the world’s colors,
    It is you who comes —
    A glimmer, a shimmer, a reminder
    That beauty still exists
    And hope can wear wings.

    You do not battle —
    You endure.
    You do not conquer —
    You bless.

    To the People,
    You were more than a bird.
    You were a spirit —
    A messenger of love,
    A weaver of joy,
    A sign that life endures, even in the smallest of forms.

    You have never been merely “a hummingbird” —
    You are the sacred flicker of resilience,
    The bearer of light in darkened skies,
    The breath of color in a gray world.

    You remind us that gentleness is a kind of power,
    And those who move lightly,
    Move far.

  • Rider of the Dusk

    When the sun dips low and the sky turns red,
    A silent rider lifts their head.
    On a blue horse born of cloud and flame,
    They ride the trail without a name.

    The wind remembers where they roam,
    Carving paths between stars and home.
    Birds above cry songs once sung
    By our ancestors when the world was young.

    Each step echoes in the sacred land,
    Where spirit walks with open hand.
    The flowers bow, the grasses lean—
    They know this one, the in-between.

    Neither lost nor truly gone,
    This rider waits till night is dawn.
    For those who see with open eyes
    Will ride with them beneath the skies.

  • Rise with the Sun

    Arms lifted to the breaking sky,
    She calls not for herself,
    But for the earth beneath her feet,
    For the rivers, for the flowers in bloom.

    The sun answers in colors—
    Red, gold, violet, flame—
    A promise that the land lives on,
    As long as hearts remember.

    Birds spiral in light,
    Messengers of hope,
    Carrying her song across the hills,
    Across the cactus and stone.

    No battle cry, no war drums—
    Only quiet strength rising like dawn:
    We are still here.
    We will always be here.

    Evening, July 1

    "The voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day." Genesis 3:8

    My soul, now that the cool of the day has come, retire awhile and hearken to the voice of thy God. He is always ready to speak with thee when thou art prepared to hear. If there be any slowness to commune it is not on His part, but altogether on thine own, for He stands at the door and knocks, and if His people will but open He rejoices to enter. But in what state is my heart, which is my Lord's garden? May I venture to hope that it is well trimmed and watered, and is bringing forth fruit fit for Him? If not, He will have much to reprove, but still I pray Him to come unto me, for nothing can so certainly bring my heart into a right condition as the presence of the Sun of Righteousness, who brings healing in His wings. Come, therefore, O Lord, my God, my soul invites Thee earnestly, and waits for Thee eagerly. Come to me, O Jesus, my well-beloved, and plant fresh flowers in my garden, such as I see blooming in such perfection in Thy matchless character! Come, O my Father, who art the Husbandman, and deal with me in Thy tenderness and prudence! Come, O Holy Spirit, and bedew my whole nature, as the herbs are now moistened with the evening dews. O that God would speak to me. Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth! O that He would walk with me; I am ready to give up my whole heart and mind to Him, and every other thought is hushed. I am only asking what He delights to give. I am sure that He will condescend to have fellowship with me, for He has given me His Holy Spirit to abide with me for ever. Sweet is the cool twilight, when every star seems like the eye of heaven, and the cool wind is as the breath of celestial love. My Father, my elder Brother, my sweet Comforter, speak now in lovingkindness, for Thou hast opened mine ear and I am not rebellious.

    Morning, May 1

    "His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers." Song of Solomon 5:13

    Lo, the flowery month is come! March winds and April showers have done their work, and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come my soul, put on thine holiday attire and go forth to gather garlands of heavenly thoughts. Thou knowest whither to betake thyself, for to thee "the beds of spices" are well known, and thou hast so often smelt the perfume of "the sweet flowers," that thou wilt go at once to thy well-beloved and find all loveliness, all joy in Him. That cheek once so rudely smitten with a rod, oft bedewed with tears of sympathy and then defiled with spittle- that cheek as it smiles with mercy is as fragrant aromatic to my heart. Thou didst not hide Thy face from shame and spitting, O Lord Jesus, and therefore I will find my dearest delight in praising Thee. Those cheeks were furrowed by the plough of grief, and crimsoned with red lines of blood from Thy thorn-crowned temples; such marks of love unbounded cannot but charm my soul far more than "pillars of perfume." If I may not see the whole of His face I would behold His cheeks, for the least glimpse of Him is exceedingly refreshing to my spiritual sense and yields a variety of delights. In Jesus I find not only fragrance, but a bed of spices; not one flower, but all manner of sweet flowers. He is to me my rose and my lily, my heart's-ease and my cluster of camphire. When He is with me it is May all the year round, and my soul goes forth to wash her happy face in the morning-dew of His grace, and to solace herself with the singing of the birds of His promises. Precious Lord Jesus, let me in very deed know the blessedness which dwells in abiding, unbroken fellowship with Thee. I am a poor worthless one, whose cheek Thou hast deigned to kiss! O let me kiss Thee in return with the kisses of my lips.
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Morning, May 1 "His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers." Song of Solomon 5:13 Lo, the flowery month is come! March winds and April showers have done their work, and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come my soul, put on thine holiday attire and go forth to gather garlands of heavenly thoughts. Thou knowest whither to betake thyself, for to thee "the beds of spices" are well known, and thou hast so often smelt the perfume of "the sweet flowers," that thou wilt go at once to thy well-beloved and find all loveliness, all joy in Him. That cheek once so rudely smitten with a rod, oft bedewed with tears of sympathy and then defiled with spittle- that cheek as it smiles with mercy is as fragrant aromatic to my heart. Thou didst not hide Thy face from shame and spitting, O Lord Jesus, and therefore I will find my dearest delight in praising Thee. Those cheeks were furrowed by the plough of grief, and crimsoned with red lines of blood from Thy thorn-crowned temples; such marks of love unbounded cannot but charm my soul far more than "pillars of perfume."

  • "Pink Moon"
    Sharing from my friend, John Blackfeather off of Wimkin

    The "Pink Moon," the full moon in April, is a traditional Native American name for the April full moon, not because the moon itself appears pink, but because it's named after a pink wildflower called creeping phlox or moss pink, which blooms in the early spring. Some Native American tribes also refer to it as the "Sprouting Grass Moon," "Egg Moon," or "Fish Moon," referencing other seasonal changes. Here's a more detailed explanation: The name originates from Native American traditions, particularly in the northeastern U.S., who named the April full moon after the pink-colored moss phlox, one of the first wildflowers to bloom in the spring. Other Native American names: Besides the "Pink Moon," Native American tribes also called the April full moon "Sprouting Grass Moon," "Egg Moon," and "Fish Moon". These names reflect other seasonal changes and observations of nature, such as the beginning of plant growth, the return of migratory animals, and the spawning of fish.

  • Exodus
    Chapter 37

    1 And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

    2 And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

    3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.

    4 And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

    5 And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

    6 And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

    7 And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;

    8 One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.

    9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.

    10 And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:

    11 And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.

    12 Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.

    13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.

    14 Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.

    15 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.

    16 And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.

    17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:

    18 And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:

    19 Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.

    20 And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:

    21 And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.

    22 Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.

    23 And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.

    24 Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.

    25 And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.

    26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.

    27 And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.

    28 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.

    29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.

    Chapter 25

    1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

    2 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.

    3 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,

    4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,

    5 And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,

    6 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,

    7 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.

    8 And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

    9 According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.

    10 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

    20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.

    21 And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.

    22 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.

  • A 17-year-old boy who works part-time at Pizza Hut drives up to park in front of the house in a beautiful Porsche.
    Naturally, his parents know that there’s no way he earned enough with his after-school job to buy such a car.
    “Where did you get that car?” his mom and dad screamed in shock.
    “I bought it today,” replied the teen calmly.
    “With what money young man?” his mom demands. “We know how much a Porsche costs and you cannot afford it!”
    “Well, it’s used and I got a good deal” says the boy, “This one cost me 20 dollars.”
    “Who on earth would sell a car like that for 20 dollars?!”
    “The woman up the street,” the boy replies. “I don’t know her name–she just moved in.
    She ordered a pizza and when I delivered it to her, she asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for 20 dollars.”
    The boy’s dad and mom hurry over to their new neighbor’s house, ready to demand an explanation. Curiously, their new neighbor is calmly planting flowers in her front yard.
    “I’m the father of the kid you just sold a sports car to for $20,” the dad says. “I need an explanation from you!”
    “Well,” the woman says, not looking up from her garden. “This morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip in Florida, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn’t intend to come back.”
    “What on earth does that have to do with selling our son a Porsche for $20?” The boy’s mom asks, utterly perplexed.
    The new neighbor smiles very big, and pauses for a minute. “Well, my husband asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money.
    So I did.

  • She’s not a chapter or short story,
    she’s a full length novel waiting to be unraveled.
    She has layers of beauty that aren’t visible to the naked eye or casual bystander..
    Her charm and wit will disarm you long before you ever discover her secrets or dare venture into the depths of her soul.
    Untamed and unfettered, she has the heart of a wildfire and spirit of a warrior maiden.
    She waits for the one who will see behind her soulful eyes and past her smirking smile,
    She longs for the love that she has waited endless nights for- the one to stand apart from the others that she left behind.
    She may not be your cup of tea, but she’ll most certainly be your shot of expresso.
    Fiery and passionate, she’ll stoke your desires and engage your mind.
    As she walks away leaving you breathless, you’ll realize exactly who what she is...
    Perhaps too late.
    She’s a wild spirit that cannot be tamed and force of nature that cannot be contained..
    If you try to catch her eye or win her heart, prepare to invest your time as well as your love.
    Engage her mind, call to her soul, love her heart- if you have any hopes of catching this beautiful butterfly.
    She’s not a quick read or easy to understand..
    Every page of her novel is unlike any other you’ve ever experienced..
    Turn the pages slowly and take it all in, for you’re about to behold the most beautiful sight you’ll ever find:
    The heart and soul of a woman.
    But the deeper you read, the more you’ll fall in love:
    She’s not a happily ever after,
    she’s a wonder to behold,
    The type of adventure that redefines the limits of your passion.
    Forget the fairy tales, she’s a wildfire waiting to incinerate your heart.
    It’s a fiery penance that you’ll enjoy..
    every moment as she scorches your soul.
    She is and always will be more than “just” a woman..
    She’s the rarest of wildflowers..strong, wild and free.
    Most of all, she’s utterly unforgettable in all the best ways.

    My new book "Strong Woman Arisen":
    She’s not a chapter or short story, she’s a full length novel waiting to be unraveled. She has layers of beauty that aren’t visible to the naked eye or casual bystander.. Her charm and wit will disarm you long before you ever discover her secrets or dare venture into the depths of her soul. Untamed and unfettered, she has the heart of a wildfire and spirit of a warrior maiden. She waits for the one who will see behind her soulful eyes and past her smirking smile, She longs for the love that she has waited endless nights for- the one to stand apart from the others that she left behind. She may not be your cup of tea, but she’ll most certainly be your shot of expresso. Fiery and passionate, she’ll stoke your desires and engage your mind. As she walks away leaving you breathless, you’ll realize exactly who what she is... Perhaps too late. She’s a wild spirit that cannot be tamed and force of nature that cannot be contained.. If you try to catch her eye or win her heart, prepare to invest your time as well as your love. Engage her mind, call to her soul, love her heart- if you have any hopes of catching this beautiful butterfly. She’s not a quick read or easy to understand.. Every page of her novel is unlike any other you’ve ever experienced.. Turn the pages slowly and take it all in, for you’re about to behold the most beautiful sight you’ll ever find: The heart and soul of a woman.

  • The young woman who submitted the tech support message below (about her relationship with her husband) presumably did it as a joke. Then she got a reply that was way too good to keep to herself. The tech support people's love advice was hilarious.



    The query:

    Dear Tech Support,

    "Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

    In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NBA 5.0, NFL 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems but to no avail. What can I do?

    Signed: Desperate



    The response (that came weeks later out of the blue)

    Dear Desperate,

    First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: I thought you loved me.html and try to download Tears 6.2. Do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

    However, remember, overuse of the Tears application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Please note that Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta version.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT, under any circumstances, install Mother-In-Law 1.0 as it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources. In addition, please do not attempt to re-install the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
