From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley:  “In the hands of God, adversity becomes the means through which His supernatural power is demonstrated.”

Believing in Jesus

Faith built upon His love

Following God’s law

Hope sown from above

 

Walking in light with Christ

Faith’s strength breathes, as God planned

Conquering darkness

Peace fills each heartland

 

Beholding Savior’s grace

Faith’s cornerstone reborn

Seeing empty tomb

Redemption airborne

 

Hearing Messiah’s voice

Faith embraces His Word

Fearing no longer

Mountaintop unblurred

 

Weeping replaced with joy

Faith’s enriched Living Bread

Coming home at last

Trust forever fed

From 1 John 5:3-4:  “For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments.  And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world.  And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.”

Faith is a confession of trust, not a demand for an immediate answer.  Let your confidence be in God.

From Daniel 2:22:  “He reveals deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.”

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

There is no greater joy in the Christian life than to trust Him and need no explanation.

We cannot afford to be naive about evil–it must be faced.  But we cannot be intimidated by it either.  It will be used by God to bring good.

From Romans 8:31:  “What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us?”

Eugene Peterson (1932-2018) was an American pastor, theologian, and Christian author.

When you offer yourself to God as His servant, He first expects to shape you into the instrument of His choosing.  He will always work in you before He works through you.

From Philippians 1:6:  “I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Henry Blackaby (1935-2024) was a Canadian pastor and Christian author.

God takes us through struggles and difficulties so that we might become increasingly more committed to Him.

From 1 Peter 4:12:  “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that is taking place among you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.”

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

Nothing happens in any particular unless God’s will is behind it, therefore you can rest in perfect confidence in Him.

From Matthew 7:11:  “If you, then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

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.

Darkness shadows day

Each forgotten path

Sown hope uprooted

Crushed by evil’s wrath

 

Consumed with anger

Future’s light escapes

Forsaken feelings

Each evolving shape

 

Innocence cries out

Emptiness of heart

Tomorrow frozen

Outlook breaks apart

 

Faith’s net cast away

Trust lacking within

Tide now rushing forth

God always knows when

 

Redemption assured

Risen Savior lives

Light’s ember blossoms

Peace forever gives
