From Isaiah 58:2:  “Yet day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of Me righteous judgments; they want God on their side.”

With every sunrise

Seeking to know God’s ways

Beholding His righteousness

Drawing closer to Him each day

 

Until setting sun

Tasting God’s living bread

Sharing His grace with others

Sewing faith’s fabric with each thread

 

Throughout each night

Knowing God always near

Mercy rises in darkness

Trusting as His love always steers

 

Early dawn wakens

Fulfilling God’s glory

Witnessing His blessed light

Writing faith’s renewing story

 

Sabbath brings delight

Reading God’s divine Word

Praising His Holy presence

Finding peace with everything heard

Christ is the key which unlocks the golden doors into the temple of Divine truth.

From John 10:7-9:  “So again Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them.  I am the gate. Whoever enters by Me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.'”

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer.  Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers.  This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

Afflictions tend to wean us from the world–and to fix our affections on things above.

From Colossians 3:1-2:  “So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.“

John Angell James (1785-1859) was an English pastor and Christian writer.

I see a blanket of benevolence covering the planet, helping to transform Earth’s consciousness from fear to love.

From 1 Corinthians 1:30-31:  “In contrast, God is why you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, in order that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'”

Louise Hay (1926-2017) was an American author and motivational speaker.

Darkness, evil abound

Our Champion arrives

Freeing chained hearts with praise

Faith growing in our lives

 

Graced by shed blood of Christ

Facing every hour

Wisdom, courage unite

Strongest bonds of power

 

Standing as God’s people

Walking as peacemakers

Sowing seeds from His faith

Harvest Glory’s acres

 

Christ’s journey lights His way

Centered on His people

Calling us, step forward

Blessed Cross, our steeple

 

Jesus’ pierced hands of change

Steady feet meet life’s quest

Lasting voice for justice

Renewing lives, each test

 

Glory fills God’s Kingdom

From His Heaven above

Nothing stops living grace

Salvation’s gift, free love

Are there areas in our lives–whatever our ages–in which we need fresh growth?  Focus on that area, memorize Scripture on that topic, pray for maturity, and ask God for a “growth spurt” in your life.

From 1 Peter 2:2:  “Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out; and it is important to maintain a balanced life.

From Colossians 1:9-10:  “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.”

Warren Wiersbe (1929-2019) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  His journey as a Christian teacher was prolific with publication of over 50 books.
