Trusting Always

From Psalm 37:5-6:  “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.  He will make your vindication shine like the light and the justice of your cause like the noonday.”

Trusting always, Lord’s righteousness

Living under His cherished love

Filling each heart with His desires

Praises reign from heaven above

 

Trusting always, Lord’s promised light

Committing to His divine way

Shining upon mercy’s justice

Darkness vanquished, fading away

 

Trusting always, Lord’s faithful path

Sending love with His timely grace

Accepting redemption’s blessing

Peace extended, let all embrace

 

Trusting always, Lord’s hallowed Word

Reading as His blueprint unfolds

Gathering spirit leads us forth

Faith growing from Gospel’s foothold

From Psalm 37:39-40:  “The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their refuge in the time of trouble.  The Lord helps them and rescues them; He rescues them from the wicked and saves them because they take refuge in Him.”

Charles Stanley Quote

Our greatest impact on this earth comes from loving and serving others–as Jesus did.

From Galatians 5:13-14:  “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters, only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become enslaved to one another.  For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'”

Oswald Chambers Quote

This is the unshakable secret of the Lord to those who trust Him–I will give thee thy life.  What more does a man want than his life?

From Jeremiah 45:5:  “And you, do you seek great things for yourself?  Do not seek them, for I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord, but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go.”

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.
