Believing in Jesus

Faith built upon His love

Following God’s law

Hope sown from above

 

Walking in light with Christ

Faith’s strength breathes, as God planned

Conquering darkness

Peace fills each heartland

 

Beholding Savior’s grace

Faith’s cornerstone reborn

Seeing empty tomb

Redemption airborne

 

Hearing Messiah’s voice

Faith embraces His Word

Fearing no longer

Mountaintop unblurred

 

Weeping replaced with joy

Faith’s enriched Living Bread

Coming home at last

Trust forever fed

From 1 John 5:3-4:  “For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments.  And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world.  And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.”

The key question to keep asking is, Are you spending your time on the right thing?  Because time is all you have.

From James 4:8-10:  “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  Lament and mourn and weep.  Let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy into dejection.  Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.”

Randy Pausch (1960-2008) was an American educator and professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University.  His life was cut short by pancreatic cancer, but he persevered to share his final lecture a few months before his death.

A blade of grass is the journeywork of the stars.

The poet judges not as judge judges but as the sun falling around a helpless thing.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was one of America’s most influential poets.  His writing prowess was not only evident in his poems, but also in his work as a journalist and essayist.

Monday Memories: Night

From Colossians 1:13-14 “He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

From the Creator, comes the day’s light

Why then, is there perpetual night?

 

Sin-filled darkness, traverses borders

Nations breathing endless disorders

 

Not a single country shall be spared

Few if any, seem ready . . . prepared

 

Partisan turmoil ignites unrest

Another sleepless night, minus rest

 

Social illness parks at each corner

Past ills, leaving many a mourner

 

Violence, injustice never pause

Out of this gloom, marches a new cause

 

Shroud of night’s blackness, tearing apart

Light conquers night, crashing our Lord’s heart

 

Blood-stained Cross, now-empty tomb proclaim

Son of Man, Son of God lights new flame

From Revelation 22:5:  “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

The Son’s obedience was as Redeemer, because He was Son, not in order to be Son.

From John 13:13:  “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.”

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.

From Isaiah 42:1:  “Here is My servant, whom I uphold, My chosen, in whom My soul delights; I have put My spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.”

Prophecy foretold

Even greater light

From heavens above

Love scales newfound heights

 

Spirit upon Him

Justice shall prevail

Breath of gentleness

Christ tips evil’s scale

 

Voice of Good Shepherd

Strengthened, never faint

Coastline’s faith whispers

Every blessed saint

 

Actions of patience

God’s Word guides with peace

Filled with righteousness

Salvation’s new lease

 

Darkness crawls away

Grace raises each heart

Messiah’s dawn reigns

Hope’s defining start
