James Smith of Cheltenham is perhaps not a name you know. If you have seen it before, it may have been in a few particular places. You may have noticed a collection of devotions called The Believer\u2019s Daily Remembrancer, one of the few productions of his pen still more or less available. You may have noted his name as one of the preachers on the occasion of the opening of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in 1861, when he preached a sweet sermon on effectual calling.<\/p>\n
As well as serving in a number of churches, James Smith was a prolific writer, and his daily readings and devotionals in particular were highly esteemed and hugely popular. \u2018My object,\u2019 said our author, \u2018is to lead the mind from self\u2014to Jesus; from sin\u2014to salvation; from the troubles of life\u2014to the comforts of the gospel. My aim is to humble the sinner\u2014and exalt the Saviour; to strip the creature\u2014and place the crown on the head of God\u2019s free grace! I cannot ascribe too much to Jesus\u2014or too little to man!\u2019<\/p>\n
Some daily devotionals are longer, and demand a fair amount of time. Some are briefer, and take a few moments to read over. These golden nuggets of truth will take only a moment to consider, but will give you matter for a day\u2019s consideration and comfort.<\/p>\n
