Oswald Chambers Quote

In looking back we cannot tell why we did certain things, we did them according to the spontaneous nature of His love for us.

From Romans 5:5:  “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

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.

We are blessed with so much that we sometimes overlook life’s smallest treasures.

Love’s Faithful Hope

From Romans 5:5:  “And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”

Without love, faith remains empty

Absent of faith, all hope dries up

Lacking hope, tomorrow grows dark

Grace waiting to fill every cup

 

Man’s works never earn salvation

Imperfection fills heaven’s eyes

Seeing dimmest light on one cross

Christ’s love opens faith’s new franchise

 

Holy Spirit pours into hearts

Love cascades from Living Water

Witnessing Father’s endless grace

Mercy’s hope for sons and daughters

 

Father’s love rescues each sinner

Debts paid in full through Savior’s death

Unlocking redemption’s closed door

Love’s faithful hope stirring each breath

 

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Springs of faith rising in each heart

Sharing their spontaneous love

New hope’s energizing restart

From 1 Corinthians 13:13:  “And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love.”

Prayer is our ultimate response when facing the impossible.  God sees well beyond the impossible to the possible.

Charles Inwood Quote

When God is going to do a wonderful thing, He begins with a difficulty.  When He is going to do a very wonderful thing, He begins with an impossibility.

From Psalm 46:1-3:  “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.”

Charles Inwood (1851-1928) was an English-born pastor who spent 30 years in itinerant ministry with missionary work on five continents.

Through life’s trials, God humbles each of us.  In the process, He opens another heart where there now breathes love for Him.
