When a writer distills his own voice, another story discovers its own unique narration.

Times of Challenge

From 2 Samuel 1:2:  “On the third day, a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.  When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance [extending respect].”

Facing distress

Surging downpour

Waves of darkness

Always, facing more

 

Confronting fate

Reeling with pain

Enemy waits

Always, comes again

 

Praying to God

Hearing His voice

Times of challenge

Always, offers choice

 

Reaching to thee

Grasping His hand

Deliverance

Always, God commands

 

Reading His Word

Lighting each lamp

Promise rings true

Always, in God’s camp

 

Finding refuge

Forgiving sins

Redemption breathes

Always, grace comes in

From 2 Samuel 22:29:  “Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord lightens my darkness.”

Billy Graham Quote

Our faith becomes stronger as we express it; a growing faith is a sharing faith.

From Philemon 1:6:  “I pray that the partnership of your faith may become effective as you comprehend all the good that we share in Christ.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

Photo by Clement Nivesse on Pexels.com

The vision of God is the source of patience, because it imparts a moral inspiration.

From Habakkuk 2:3:  “For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie.  If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

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.
