Remember that you are needed.  There is at least one important work to be done that will not be done unless you do it.

From Romans 8:28-30:  “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.  For those whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, in order that He might be the firstborn within a large family.  And those whom He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.”

Charles L. Allen (1913-2005) was an American pastor and Christian author.

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

Prayer does not condition God; prayer conditions us.  Prayer does not win God to our view; it reveals God’s view to us.

From Colossians 4:2-4:  “Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.  At the same time, pray for us as well, that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.“

Leonard Ravenhill (1907-1994) was a British Christian author.  Many of his chosen themes focused on prayer and revival.

No one can get Joy by merely asking for it.  It is one of the ripest fruits of the Christian life, and, like all fruits, must be grown.

From Philippians 4:4-6:  “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Let your gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”

Henry Drummond (1851-1897) was a Scottish evangelist, writer, and lecturer.

The cross is the greatest example of humility and devotion in the universe.  Jesus put your needs ahead of His own.  He considered you more valuable than Himself.

From Philippians 2:3-5:  “Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.  Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.   Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.”

Ralph Browne (Chip) Ingram (born 1954) is an American pastor and Christian teacher.

God instructs us in what we choose, that is, He guides our common sense, and we no longer hinder His Spirit by continually saying–“Now Lord, what is Thy will?”

From Psalm 25:14:  “The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear Him, and He makes his covenant known to them.”

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.

In a difficult situation one never-failing guide is to ask yourself:  “What would Christ have done?”

From John 13:14-15:  “ So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.”

Robert Baden-Powell (1857-1941) was a British-born army officer, writer, and founder of the Boy Scouts Association.
