From John 1:38-39:  “When Jesus turned and saw them following, He said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’  They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’  He said to them, ‘Come and see.’  They came and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him that day.  It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.”

Meeting stranger

On life’s remote road

One calls Him, “Lamb of God”

Holy seeds, already sowed

 

Messiah found

Another saint born

Faithful see Father’s light

Trust growing, from grace airborne

 

Blessed greeting

Shared from Son of Man

Faith’s opportunity

Son of God’s trusted game plan

 

Always present

Christ be everything

Believers find their home

Hope transformed by stalwart King

 

Self-pride now sleeps

Spirit set to soar

Mercy’s reign opens wide

Discipleship’s righteous door

He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.

From Psalm 18:1-2:  “I love you, O Lord, my strength.  The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

There may be any number of things dark to your understanding, but they do not come in between your heart and God.

From John 14:1:  “Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Believe in God; believe also in Me”

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.

God’s providence is not blind, but full of eyes.

From Isaiah 46:8-10:  “Remember this and consider; recall it to mind, you transgressors; remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the outcome from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My purpose shall stand,’ and I will fulfill My intention.”

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was an American poet.  His Quaker background entrusted him to advocate for the abolition of slavery in the United States.

So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.

From Psalm 25:12:  “Who are they who fear the Lord?  He will teach them the way that they should choose.”

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.

The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit.

From Romans 8:24-25:  “For in hope we were saved.  Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees?  But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”

Nelson Henderson (1865-1943) was a Canadian-born, second-generation farmer.

To make this thing called life work, we gotta lean and support.  Especially in God’s family . . . where working together is Plan A for survival.

From 1 John 5:1-2:  “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey His commandments.”
