Taking us from our own harbor of emotions, our human interactions sail with life’s daily ebb and flow.

Faith’s Resurrection

From Psalm 118:1:  “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!”

Hope’s refuge, waiting in Lord’s highest place

Father’s steadfast love endures forever

Lighting way for each faithful endeavor

Proclaiming Savior’s song of victory

 

Bond of peace, opened at Calvary’s cross

Unified as one with body of Christ

Sharing patient gentleness, though high-priced

Bearing one another in faithful love

 

Measure of forgiveness, joy’s lasting gift

Marvelous in Lord’s single, faithful breath

Overcoming lasting darkness and death

Waiting at heaven’s gate, His love-filled grace

 

Witnessing Savior’s nail-pierced hands and feet

Faith’s Resurrection, forever complete

From Luke 24:36-39:  “While they were talking about this, Jesus Himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you.’  They were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.  He said to them, ‘Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?  Look at My hands and My feet; see that it is I myself.  Touch Me and see, for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.'”

Oswald Chambers Quote

Remember what you are saved for–that the Son of God might be manifested in your mortal flesh.

From Ephesians 1:18:  “So that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may perceive what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance among the saints.”

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.

Martin Luther Quote

A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject all.

From Romans 14:11-12:  “For it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall give praise to God.’  So then, each one of us will be held accountable.”
