It is so vital that we become still and let God be God. When we take life’s junk to Him, we shall feel His transforming spirit.

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.
From Psalm 9:1-2: “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”
Singing highest praises
Receiving daily gifts
Blessings from Savior’s breath
Steering man from sinful drift
Witnessing blood-stained cross
Declaring Christ, our Lord
Rising from darkened tomb
Crushing evil’s sinful sword
Suffering no longer
Driving fear from each heart
Warming to Heaven’s light
Forgiving sins, life’s fresh start
Trusting in God above
Giving thanks for His grace
Bringing faith renewed strength
Erasing sin’s dark embrace
Sending peace down to earth
Designing joy’s blueprint
Raising new hope through truth
Marking love’s lasting imprint
From Psalm 9:9-10: “The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know Your name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.”

The Lord’s quiet refuge will always provide His safe shelter. Nothing of darkness shall penetrate His sanctuary of light.

We love to be with the ones we love. So does God. How else do you explain what He did? Between Him and us there was a distance, and He could’t bear it. So He did something about it.
From Philippians 2:6-8: “Who, though he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, assuming human likeness. And being found in appearance as a human, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.”

God didn’t bestow grace on us at the moment of salvation, only to leave us on our own to live the Christian life as best we can.
From Titus 2:11-12: “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly.”
