Our Lord received Himself in the fire of sorrow, He was saved not from the hour, but out of the hour.

From John 12:27-28:  “Now My soul is troubled.  And what should I say:  ‘Father, save Me from this hour’?  No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.  Father, glorify Your name.   Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.'”

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.

If you abandon to Jesus, and come when He says “Come,” He will continue to say “Come” through you; you will go into life reproducing the echo of Christ’s “Come.”

Charles Swindoll Quote

But by faith I see God and, inaudibly, I hear Him on a regular basis, reading Him written in the events of my life–whether it be the crushing blows that drive me to my knees or the joyous triumphs that send my heart winging.

From Matthew 28:20:  “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Redemption’s Seed

From Genesis 15:5-6:  “He brought him [Abram] outside and said, ‘Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’  Then He said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’  And he believed the Lord, and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness.”

Faith’s wilderness journey

Trusting Father above

His righteousness shineth

Doubts transfigured with love

 

Aimless breath transitions

Believing without fear

Promised Father’s actions

Salvation coming near

 

Faith’s encouraging steps

Absorbing Father’s voice

Comfort’s forgiving tone

Witness light’s blessed choice

 

Hope’s unshakable rock

Following Spirit’s lead

Connects with Father’s grace

Planted redemption’s seed

 

Faith’s confidence matures

Harvesting Father’s peace

Awakened from darkness

Savior’s risen new lease

It is a waste of time trying to unscrew the inscrutable workings of God.  He honors faith and obedience.

Oswald Chambers Quote

The reception of the Holy Spirit is the maintained attitude of the believer.  When we receive the Holy Spirit, we receive quickening life from the ascended Lord.

From Luke 24:49:  “And see, I am sending upon you what My Father promised, so stay here in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Evangelical repentance is not at the beck and call of the creature.  It is the gift of God.

From Romans 2:4:  “Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience?  Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer.  Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers.  This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

This life was not intended to be the place of our perfection, but the preparation for it.

From John 6:35:  “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life.  Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.'”

Richard Baxter (1615-1691) was an English-born, Puritan pastor and Christian theologian.
