Echoing message of love

From whom will lasting hope thrive?

Looking to Father’s insight

His grace through faith comes alive

 

Awaking every morning

Eyes look to heavens above

Witnessing Father’s goodness

Filled with everlasting love

 

Carving out another day

Safe in Father’s guiding hands

Following His righteousness

Watchman over distant lands

 

Walking with our Creator

In Father’s glory, each time

Scaling mountainous darkness

Mercy’s light fills every climb

Growing up with Father

Learning all about life

Encouraged to follow

Living without evil’s strife

 

Bearing Father’s commands

Nurturing faith each day

Drowned each fleshly desire

Witnessing His grace, let’s pray

 

Walking in Father’s steps

Surrendering to Him

Sensed righteousness calling

Praising each blessed hymn

 

Searching for Father’s peace

Letting go, finding love

Gleaned from each steadfast truth

Catching mercy from above

From Hebrews 5:12-14:  “For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic elements of the oracles of God.  You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is unskilled in the word of righteousness.  But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

God engineers everything; wherever He puts us our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work.

From 1 Corinthians 3:9:  “For we are God’s coworkers, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.”

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.
