Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds.
From Luke 14:27: “Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”
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 Lamentations 3:22-24: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”
Eternity’s light
Shall never dim
Remember Calvary
Tomb emptied of Him
Raking through ashes
Ember’s flame used
Faith in Gospel rises
Memories infused
Prayers of witness
God’s promised Word
Trust in faith’s nourishment
Every whisper heard
Joy’s breath coming back
Light full of grace
Spirit always present
Hope fills welcome place
Christ reigns forever
Shall come again
With Heaven’s ticket punched
Only He knows when
From Isaiah 60:1: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

When we surrender ourselves to Jesus, we begin our faith journey in His light. We never return to our former selves, filled with darkness.

From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “When we trust God to provide the stamina for the work He calls us to do, we are clothed in power.”
Walking these roads for so long
Sin short-circuits dusty steps
Trust’s gauge running on empty
Darkness knocking at doorstep
Facing life’s tall shortcomings
Empty promises sell short
Holy Spirit calling now
Time to seek Father’s support
Hearing faithful promises
His Spirit brings fortitude
Truly believe, seeking Him
Bread of Life, God’s daily food
Turning to Jesus Christ
Living water quenches thirst
Savior clothes with grace-filled love
His promises, always first
Strengthening life’s weaknesses
Holy promises bring light
Eyes open, hearts enlightened
New life trusts in Father’s might
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.”

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.
From Isaiah 26:3-4: “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock.”
Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998) was an American author and motivational speaker.
