Pray now; draw on the grace of God in the moment of need.
From 2 Corinthians 6:1: “As we work together with Him, we entreat you also not to accept the grace of God in vain.”
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher. Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons. Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST. I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

Reaching each summit as one—
Sticking together
Navigating storms
Guided by trust among friends—
Nourishing each soul

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him for you are not.
Those who cannot begin do not finish.
Robert Henri (1865-1929) was an American painter and teacher. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he studied in Paris where he strongly identified with the impressionists, as he pursued a more progressive approach with his paintings.
Half-empty coffee cup
Hoping to find something
Peering down, never up
Searching darkened nothing
“Seinfeld” gathers awards
Endless shows with nothing
Jerry’s name on billboards
He’s caught on to something
Writing with empty words
Dreams filling with something
Missing all the keywords
Amounting to nothing
Scanning digital files
Words lost, dreading nothing
Writer facing trials
Mining life for something
Photo on dusty perch
Triggers newfound something
Memories begin search
Looking beyond nothing
Nothing pursues something
Something subdues nothing

You can be passionate about anything.

From Colossians 2:13-14: “And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with Him, when He forgave us all our trespasses, erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross.”
Witness faith’s new covenant
Genuine with every breath
Sufficient grace rises free
New life born in Savior’s death
Man’s sins meet at Calvary
Debts paid upon bloody tree
Ledger totally erased
Forgiven, now darkness flees
Father’s predetermined plan
Resurrection breathes with light
Eternal hell defeated
Righteousness stands with White Knight
Never any random act
Salvation’s destiny sown
With Spirit’s redemptive pulse
Seated at Messiah’s throne
Reconciled through Father’s love
Promised truth builds Heaven’s road
Made ambassadors for Christ
Eternity’s quest bestowed
From 2 Corinthians 5:20-21: “So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making His appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God. For our sake God made the one who knew no sin to be sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
