From Philippians 2:1-2:  “If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy, make my joy complete:  be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”

Blessed encouragement

Resurrection’s light beams

Found in Savior Jesus

Redemption runs downstream

 

Being of same spirit

Heart’s beat filled with His love

Christ teaches righteousness

World finds peace from above

 

Acceptance of God’s will

Conscience stirs to confirm

Each element born in Christ

Faith’s trust breathes to affirm

 

Father always at work

Eternal light burns bright

Salvation finds its home

Tomorrow’s hope holds tight

 

Within every blessing

Enlightened with God’s Way

Holy Spirit defines

Obedience replays

From Philippians 2:12-13:  “Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence but much more now in my absence, work on your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”

Obedience is a foundational stepping-stone on the path of God’s will.

From 1 John 2:1-3:  “My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.  But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.  Now by this we know that we have come to know Him, if we obey His commandments.”

Elizabeth George (born 1944) is an American Christian author and speaker.

If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly.

From 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18:  “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

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.

God’s providence is not blind, but full of eyes.

From Isaiah 46:8-10:  “Remember this and consider; recall it to mind, you transgressors; remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me, declaring the outcome from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My purpose shall stand,’ and I will fulfill My intention.”

John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892) was an American poet.  His Quaker background entrusted him to advocate for the abolition of slavery in the United States.

So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.

From Psalm 25:12:  “Who are they who fear the Lord?  He will teach them the way that they should choose.”

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.

In midst of dark wilderness

Lost, yet seeking His cover

Praying for Father’s response

Forgiveness whitens sin’s color

 

Life’s journey shall remain hard

Moral compass guides each heart

Praising Father’s steadfast love

Shallow hope finds blessed restart

 

Ember of faith’s glowing light

Mercy shared from Heaven’s voice

Treasuring Father’s wisdom

Holy Spirit guides every choice

 

Righteousness conquers darkness

His answers more clearly seen

Walking in Father’s refuge

Grace, flowing with truth, intervenes

 

Rescued from evil’s shadow

Faith growing, no longer crushed

Breathing through Father’s spirit

His Son’s promised peace, never hushed
