Remember what you are saved for–that the Son of God might be manifested in your mortal flesh.
From Ephesians 1:18: “So that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may perceive what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance among the saints.”
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.

Admitted to the American Union on March 15, 1820, as the 23rd state of the United States, Maine offers nearly endless natural treasures.
Here are a few quick facts about the “Pine Tree State” of Maine:
Forested land covers more than 80 percent of Maine’s landscape. The 12th smallest state in terms of land area (35,385 square miles) is one of the most rural of American states.
Known for its lobster, the lengthy Atlantic coastline offers seemingly endless miles of ocean views. The annual lobster harvest fills nearly 90 percent of the nation’s supply.
Maine is unique in a couple of ways compared to the other American states. Being the only one in the country, its name is one syllable. It also borders only one other state, New Hampshire.
Founded in 1916, Acadia National Park offers a look at the natural beauty of the region. Maine is home to numerous lakes and rivers, and its many coastal islands house several lighthouses. Besides Alaska, Maine provides a home to more moose than any other state.
Wild blueberries reign supreme in Maine. There are more berries here than in other place on the planet. Countless blueberry-inspired creations fill restaurant menus.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
Let us then be up and doing, with a heart for any fate; still achieving, still pursuing, learn to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882) was an American poet and educator. Born in Portland, Maine, he has long been remembered for being one of New England’s fireside poets.

A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject all.
From Romans 14:11-12: “For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.’ So then, each one of us will be held accountable.”
Meeting darkness once again
Searching for morning escape
Knowing sunrise overcomes
Patience, changing day’s landscape
Deflecting morning worries
Finding peace in clearest sky
Touching early hour’s stillness
Patience, never say goodbye
Wanting calmness, come forward
Filling positive mindset
Nurturing new attitudes
Patience, powers life’s reset
Stirring kindness from within
Enduring love for others
Overflowing into hearts
Patience, shared with another
Sailing serenity’s seas
Reaching for each shooting star
Focusing on tomorrow
Patience, lowers each crossbar
