God with us
Living in human form
Jesus
Child
Humble birthplace
Sleeping in manger
Destined to save world
Redeemer
Rabbi
Parables taught
Faith’s promised answer
Arriving on Easter morn
Resurrection
From Philippians 3:10-11: “I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the sharing of His sufferings by becoming like Him in His death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead.”
Living in darkness
Flesh from evil lasts
Searching for God’s light
Breaking from sin’s past
Walking with Jesus
Loss shall replace gain
Redeeming at cross
Witnessing His pain
Wanting to know more
Resurrection’s light
Pressing on in faith
Praising all that’s right
Spending time with Him
Eyes fixed on Jesus
Growing in His Word
Liberating us
Completing life’s course
Jesus waiting there
Fulfilling mercy
Answering prayers

If you want to be of use to God, get rightly related to Jesus Christ and He will make you of use unconsciously every minute you live.
From Mathew 6:33-34: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.”
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.

From 2 Corinthians 4:11: “For we who are living are always being handed over to death for Jesus’s sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our mortal flesh.”

They lose nothing who gain Christ.

Falling far short
With Father’s law
Darkness of sin
Man’s many flaws
False righteousness
Enemy seeks
Transgressions breathe
Judgment shall speak
Condemnation
Actions deserved
Love intervenes
Mercy preserved
Empty works fade
Grace filled with love
Sin meets Savior
Called from above
Calvary bleeds
Empty tomb’s light
Redemption saves
Heaven’s hope bright
Righteousness found
In Christ, our Lord
Through faith, not works
By His accord
From Romans 3:27-28: “Then what becomes of boasting? It is excluded. Through what kind of law? That of works? No, rather through the law of faith. For we hold that a person is justified by faith apart from works prescribed by the law.”

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
From 1 Peter 1:8-9: “Although you have not seen Him, you love Him, and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
