Marie Chapian Quote

Heaven on earth is knowing God, loving God, allowing Him to shine within us, and experiencing His power and presence in all we think and do.

From 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12:  “As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.”

Marie Chapian (born 1938) is an American writer and radio ministry host.

The God who spoke still speaks.  He comes into our world.  He comes into your world.  He comes to do what you can’t.

From Isaiah 46:4:  “Even to your old age I am He; even when you turn gray I will carry you.  I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.”

Eyes Fixed on Jesus


From Philippians 3:10-11:  “I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the sharing of His sufferings by becoming like Him in His death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.”

Living in darkness

Flesh from evil lasts

Searching for God’s light

Breaking from sin’s past

 

Walking with Jesus

Loss shall replace gain

Redeeming at cross

Witnessing His pain

 

Wanting to know more

Resurrection’s light

Pressing on in faith

Praising all that’s right

 

Spending time with Him

Eyes fixed on Jesus

Growing in His Word

Liberating us

 

Completing life’s course

Jesus waiting there

Fulfilling mercy

Answering prayers

From Philippians 3:20:  “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

If you want to be of use to God, get rightly related to Jesus Christ and He will make you of use unconsciously every minute you live.

From Mathew 6:33-34:  “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.  Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

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.
