Oswald Chambers Quote

Posted on September 16, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

Joy is the great note all throughout the Bible.

From Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.”

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.

Joy is the serious business of Heaven.

From Philippians 4:4-5: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.”

God is Holy. Exalted. He is the only wise God, the Creator, the Maker, the Sovereign Lord. He is the Master. We have but one directive, and that it is to do His will.

From Psalm 97:12: “Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous, and give thanks to His holy name!”

On Our Way

Posted on July 6, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 118:24: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

On our way—

Following

Son of God,

Jesus Christ

On our way—

Witnessing

Faithful hope,

Filled with Christ

On our way—

Confronting

Day’s darkness,

Buoyed by Christ

On our way—

Restoring

Shattered lives,

Praising Christ

On our way—

Quieting

Stormy seas,

Christ as work

On our way—

Conquering

Evil’s foe,

Christ with us

On our way—

Redeeming

Wayward souls,

Christ’s love saves

On our way—

Proclaiming

Thankful hearts,

Blessed Christ

On our way—

Rejoicing

Forever,

Within Christ

From Philippians 4:4: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.”

The inspiration for this poem comes from the hymn, “On Our Way, Rejoicing.” Here are the lyrics and music of this beloved song.

Infinite Love

Posted on September 5, 2021 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 146:1-2: “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul! I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God all my life long.”

Singing praises to Holy Lord

Looking up to heavens beyond

Rejoicing, filled with His glory

Trusting faith, believers respond

Building our daily faith and hope

Targeting His grace for our needs

Magnifying love with mercy

Looking upon each tender reed

Blessing earth’s next generation

Doing great things, God is His name

Showing almighty, loving strength

Lighting our way, eternal flame

Watching over His creation

Conceiving heavens high above

Reigning forever and ever

Downloading His infinite love

From Luke 1:46-48: “And Mary said, ‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,for He has looked with favor on the lowliness of His servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed.'”
