Replace your excuses with fresh determination.
From 1 John 2:28-29: “And now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before Him at His coming.”

Serving Jesus
From Galatians 4:4-5: “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.”
Wandering, undisciplined
Enslaved to darkness of sin
Unlikely heirs of God’s kingdom
Seeking Jesus, Scripture’s linchpin
Flaunting rebellious spirit
Indifferent to God’s Word
Fallible, filled with weakness
Finding Jesus, redemption stirred
Warming frozen hearts with grace
Light rising from blood-stained tree
Adopted as God’s children
Choosing Jesus, forever free
Breaking loose from evil’s chains
Deliverance, God’s design
Forgiven, more disciplined
Praising Jesus, mercy divine
Proclaiming Gospel’s viewpoint
Epiphany of God’s joy
Disciples, called to follow
Serving Jesus, mission deploys
From 1 John 1:7: “But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

Rick Warren Quote
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.

Our Creator teaches us so much from His living canvas. Therefore, take time each day to slow down and immense yourself into the patience of nature.

Certain in Uncertainty
From Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Life filled with uncertainty
Wondering where next step leads
Eyes witness dark, empty tomb
Reaping Father’s faithful seeds
Holy Word always certain
Lighting up life’s righteous road
Father’s mercy surprises
Meeting us at life’s crossroads
Days fill with expectancy
Trading our uncertain ways
Jesus Christ, faith’s lightning rod
Navigating through life’s maize
Certain of each tomorrow
Teaching His children through grace
New life begins at one cross
Praising Savior, now embrace
Certain in uncertainty
Praying, filled with fortitude
Spiritual life blossoms
Building hope’s new attitude
From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Oswald Chambers Quote
We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God. Immediately we abandon to God, and do the duty that lies nearest, He packs our life with surprises all the time.
From 1 John 3:2: Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when He is revealed, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.”
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.
