God’s magnificent creation sustains us with every morning’s sunrise while another sunset brings us His rest.

Have you forgotten just how amazing our great God is?  Spend time remembering today.

From Galatians 4:4-7:  “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children.  And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, ‘Abba!  Father!’  So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir through God.

Faithful River

From Psalm 65:5:  “By awesome deeds You answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation; You are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.”

Headwaters on mountaintop

Watered from heavens above

Praises from valley below

Earth’s bounty fills with God’s love

 

Holy temple blooms with peace

Sky, earth, seas breathe with God’s grace

Light proclaims deliverance

Salvation for human race

 

Faithful river dries each tear

Troubled seas no longer toss

God answers as He promised

Hope fulfilled on darkest cross

 

Quietness covers each land

Eternity’s Son shall rise

Spirit opens morning sky

God answers with new franchise

From Psalm 65:9:  “You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide the people with grain, for so You have prepared it.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

God will give us touches of inspiration when He sees we are not in danger of being led away by them.

From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7:  “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.

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.
