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.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
From Hebrews 10:24-25: “And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on two different occasions (1868, 1874-1880).

From Habakkuk 2:4: “Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faithfulness.”
Too many demands
Fewer precious hours
Life out of control
Darkness set to devour
Light beams from God’s Word
Life’s frantic pace slows
Moment by moment
Steps finding high plateau
Fresh landscape of peace
In God, faith shall trust
Heart fills with new hope
Priorities adjust
Hidden darkness flees
Armor of light worn
God’s grace stretching out
His answers come each morn
Prayer’s conveyance
Journey with God’s love
Freedom at last found
Guidance breathes from above
From Romans 13:12: “The night is far gone; the day is near. Let us then throw off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”
