As Christians, we are to emulate Jesus’ submission to the Father and spirit of servanthood.  We may never be applauded for our work here on earth, but our reward is in heaven.

From Matthew 20:26-28:  “It will not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave, just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many.”

The adventure of seeing where imagination takes a series of thoughts nurtures both the writer as well as the reader.

God’s Home

From Psalm 98:1:  “O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things.  His right hand and His holy arm have gotten Him victory.”

Praising Lord high above

Singing favorite hymn

Overflowing with His peace

Returning love to Him

 

Revealing mercy’s grace

Descending from God’s rock

Filling earthly, mortal place

Shepherding wayward flock

 

Declaring His purpose

Severing chains of sin

Forgiving each indictment

Teaching what should have been

 

Praying for faith’s new hope

Calling upon Lord’s name

Grasping heaven’s righteous rope

Granting grace, without blame

 

Climbing final mountain

Leaving this worldly dome

Dwelling jointly, wolf with lamb

Summoning to God’s home

From Isaiah 11:6:  “The wolf shall live with the lamb; the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the lion will feed together, and a little child shall lead them.”

We witness mercy’s gift of the Resurrection in our daily, imperfect walk of faith.  Jesus paid the ultimate price of forgiveness for our overwhelming burdens of sin.

Oswald Chambers Quote

A man’s obedience is to what he sees to be a need; our Lord’s obedience was to the will of His Father.

From Hebrews 10:9-10:  “Then He added, ‘See, I have come to do Your will.’  He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. And it is by God’s will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”

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.
