There is nothing more important in any life than the constantly enjoyed presence of the Lord. For without it we shall make mistakes, and without it we shall be defeated.

From Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

When we touch the bedrock of the reality of the Gospel in God, we shall never bother God any further with little personal plaints.

From 1 Corinthians 1:17: “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to proclaim the gospel, and not with eloquent wisdom, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its power.”

Our part. Trust God wholeheartedly, in every corner of life, recognizing that He is the One in charge.

From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

We can either walk in the world’s darkness or God’s light.

From Ephesians 5:10-11: “Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.”

God deserves first place in your life . . . and you deserve the experience of putting Him there.

From Exodus 20:1-3: “Then God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before me.”

Awesome Mystery

From Genesis 1:1-2: “In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.”

God nurtures His creation

Sharing its ageless treasures

Rising with life’s morning sun

Earth boldly sings with pleasure

Love passed with each spoken word

Flowing through God’s gentle hands

Breathing newness with each day

Earth remembers where He stands

Unsurpassed beauty looks up

Praising God’s own perfection

Shining from Heaven’s mirror

Earth glows in His reflection

Awesome mystery to touch

Inheriting Master’s aim

Setting sun applauds each day

Earth salutes His Holy name

A man is in a great place when he has no one to turn to but God.

From Hebrews 9:24: “For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but He entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.”

When you are tempted to take matters into your own hands, remember the Lord’s guidance.

From Isaiah 30:15: “For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
