Nothing happens in any particular unless God’s will is behind it, therefore you can rest in perfect confidence in Him.

From Matthew 7:11:  “If you, then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

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 love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it.  Speak for Him.  Witness for Him.  Live for Him.

From Isaiah 43:10:  “You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He.  Before Me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after Me.”

John Charles (J. C.) Ryle (1816-1900) was an Anglican bishop in the United Kingdom.

For faith is a mover of mountains–there’s nothing man cannot achieve if he has the courage to try it and then has faith to believe.

From Mark 11:22-23:  “Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God.  Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and if you do not doubt in your heart but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you.'”

Helen Steiner Rice (1900-1981) was an American writer who specialized in Christian and inspirational poetry.

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.

From Hebrews 11:1-3:  “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.  Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval.  By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher.  He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.

God always shows up.  He always saves.  He always rescues.  His timing is not ours.  His methods are unusually unconventional.

From James 4:8:  “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.  Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Angela Thomas Pharr (born 1962) is an American Christian writer.
