We must build our faith, not on the fading light, but on the light that never fails.
From 2 Corinthians 3:18: “And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.”
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.

When we remain “stuck in the mud” because of yesterday’s adversity, we may lack energy and vision to pursue today’s passions.

From Psalm 23:1-3: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for His name’s sake.”
Through life’s foggy mist
God’s mercy filled
With eternal peace
Feeling trust build
Darkness to light
God’s spirit flowing
Faith’s quiet brook
Leading and knowing
Greenest meadow calls
God’s deepest love
Creation’s wings stir
Flying above
No greater warmth
God’s grace melts away
Life’s icy outlook
Kneeling now, let’s pray
One heart transformed
God shall never rest
New day’s promise
Seeking another quest
From 1 Chronicles 29:12-13: “Riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all. In Your hand are power and might, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all. And now, our God, we give thanks to You and praise Your glorious name.”
Don’t be addicted to approval. Follow your heart. Do what you believe God is telling you to do, and stand firm in Him and Him alone.
From 2 Corinthians 5:9: “So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to Him.”
Joyce Meyer (born 1943) is an American Christian author and speaker.

From Micah 6:1-2: “Hear what the Lord says: Rise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice. Hear, you mountains, the case of the Lord, and you enduring foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against His people, and He will contend with Israel.”
Speaking to His wayward flock
God issues new covenant
Echoing across valleys
Scaling each lofty mountain
Hearing God’s divine message
Called, accepting His challenge
Following with trust, grace speaks
Stepping from darkness to light
Watching from heaven above
God’s righteousness brings justice
Sowing seeds of repentance
Turning man away from sin
Praying for God’s forgiveness
His Rock, man shall climb in faith
Seeing empty tomb’s mercy
Walking every day with Christ
From Micah 6:8: “He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?”
