From Colossians 1:13-14 “He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
From the Creator, comes the day’s light
Why then, is there perpetual night?
Sin-filled darkness, traverses borders
Nations breathing endless disorders
Not a single country shall be spared
Few if any, seem ready . . . prepared
Partisan turmoil ignites unrest
Another sleepless night, minus rest
Social illness parks at each corner
Past ills, leaving many a mourner
Violence, injustice never pause
Out of this gloom, marches a new cause
Shroud of night’s blackness, tearing apart
Light conquers night, crashing our Lord’s heart
Blood-stained Cross, now-empty tomb proclaim
Son of Man, Son of God lights new flame
From Revelation 22:5: “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

The Son’s obedience was as Redeemer, because He was Son, not in order to be Son.
From John 13:13: “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.”
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 Isaiah 42:1: “Here is My servant, whom I uphold, My chosen, in whom My soul delights; I have put My spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations.”
Prophecy foretold
Even greater light
From heavens above
Love scales newfound heights
Spirit upon Him
Justice shall prevail
Breath of gentleness
Christ tips evil’s scale
Voice of Good Shepherd
Strengthened, never faint
Coastline’s faith whispers
Every blessed saint
Actions of patience
God’s Word guides with peace
Filled with righteousness
Salvation’s new lease
Darkness crawls away
Grace raises each heart
Messiah’s dawn reigns
Hope’s defining start
From Isaiah 42:6: “I am the Lord; I have called you in righteousness; I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations.”

Faith is a confession of trust, not a demand for an immediate answer. Let your confidence be in God.
