Oswald Chambers Quote

Photo by Luis Quintero on Pexels.com

But be careful to remember that you are freed for one thing only–to  be absolutely devoted to your co-Worker.

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.

New Beginning

Our attitude

Letting go, yesterday’s past

Enjoying each daily quest

Freshly written page to last

 

Our individuality

Allowing self to shine through

Hanging on to every strength

Life now ready to renew

 

Our character

Practicing Lord’s “Golden Rule”

Sharing kindness with others

Day’s always shining jewel

 

Our relationships

Searching every precious heart

Reflecting love through actions

Another day’s blessed start

 

New beginning

Pioneering novel ways

Tasting delicious goodness

Tomorrow ready to blaze

Fascination Calls

Eyes looking skyward

Symphony’s rhythm

Galaxy sparkles

Night’s algorithm

 

Trying to focus

Heavens lighting up

Fascination calls

Universe close-up

 

Each night different

Constellations speak

Billions of voices

Infinite mystique

 

Chasing one starship

Courageous and bold

Man’s final frontier

Destiny unfolds

 

Distant cosmos soars

Beyond any star

Hyperspace journey

Dreams traveling far

 

Beyond today’s world

Young boy’s mind takes flight

Ancient comets glow

Rivers filled with light

A young lad dreams of space travel as he enters grade school in the early 1960s.  Images of astronauts and space capsules begin an adventure.  Building models of the Apollo spacecraft tags along with “Star Trek” and more.  As a mature adult, the journey continues.
