If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you.  God’s experiments always succeed.

From Romans 12:1-2:  “I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, on the basis of God’s mercy, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship.  Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.”

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.

Do not limit the limitless God!  With Him, face the future unafraid because you are never alone.

From Jeremiah 29:11-12:  “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.  Then when you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you.”

Lettie B. Cowman (1870-1960) was an American writer of Christian devotional books.

Future expectations

Journey’s path filled with light

Another page to open

Tomorrow looking bright

 

Peace dwells in Father’s heart

Journey’s joy hears His Word

Hope’s breath gathers strength from Him

Faith prospers from what’s spurred

 

Family, friends, career

Journey’s love means much more

Kneeling at cross in prayer

Savior cancels sin’s score

 

Challenges shall arise

Journey’s road appears blocked

Trust in Jesus sends faith’s key

Salvation now unlocked

 

Darkness breathing no more

Journey’s destiny bright

Christ delivers victory

Future filled with His light

The hand of God casts a shadow of the cross across your life.  Sit down at the foot of the cross and deliberately submit your soul to His mighty hand.

From Romans 9:16:  “So it depends not on human will or exertion but on God who shows mercy.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Obedience . . . is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest.  It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

From Deuteronomy 30:2-3:  “Return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey Him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today, then the Lord your God will return you from your captivity and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.”

John Charles (J. C.) Ryle (1816-1900) was an Anglican bishop in the United Kingdom.

From 1 Peter 5:8-9:  “Discipline yourselves; keep alert.  Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.”

Stay alert, darkness lurks

Enemy remains at large

Believing in Savior’s strength

Faith in Him, taking charge

 

Faith sown with righteousness

Found in Christ’s merciful breath

Calling saints, wear His armor

Recall, Lord conquered death

 

Witness Calvary’s grace

Jesus suffers for man’s sins

Nailing each one to faith’s cross

His love shall always win

 

Hope’s perfect Good Shepherd

Always tending to His flock

Revealing glory’s goodness

Peace springs from faith’s bedrock

 

Hang on to faith’s Savior

Humble selves in mercy’s hands

Casting burdens upon Him

Heaven’s sunrise shall stand

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

From Psalm 18:2:  “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher.  He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.

From Hebrews 3:12-13:  “Take care, brothers and sisters, that none of you may have an evil, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.  But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” so that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”

Liberty shall be defined

Opportunity arrives

Sharing peace from Jesus Christ

Future’s hope breathing alive

 

Unconditional spirit

Encouragement’s blessed Word

Turning toward Father’s grace

Benevolence always stirred

 

Present sufferings shall fade

New creation waits for all

Finding joy in light’s freedom

Chains of sin’s bondage shall fall

 

Faith’s blessed door now opens

Love invites all to enter

Hearing Father’s steady voice

Mercy waits at room’s center

 

All peace shines from Son’s goodness

Justified by Father’s hand

Walking in darkness no more

Light’s hope will forever stand

There is nothing more difficult than to ask.  We will long and desire and crave and suffer, but not until we are at the extreme limit will we ask.

From Luke 11:10:  “For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.”

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.
