Day to night . . . night to day

 

Praying for His guidance

Looking to God above

Trusting His every breath

Darkness absorbs His love

 

Lighting path of wisdom

Teaching His righteous way

Finding strength in God’s Word

Thankful, kneeling to pray

 

Forgiving transgressions

Walking toward His grace

Keeping God’s covenant

Humbleness fills heart’s place

 

Unshackling sinner’s chains

Living under God’s peace

Replacing mind’s worry

His love shall never cease

 

Believing in God’s Son

Accepting Him as Lord

Tasting redemption’s joy

Deliverance restored

 

Night to day . . . day to night

Trust entirely in God, and when He brings you to the venture, see that you take it.

From Isaiah 12:2:  “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid, for the Lord is my strength and my might; He has become my salvation.”

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.

Think it over.  Are you living every day as if it’s your last for His Glory?  Do you remain balanced, cheerful, winsome, and stable, anticipating His return?

From 1 Thessalonians 4:16:  “For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”

To make this thing called life work, we gotta lean and support.  Especially in God’s family . . . where working together is Plan A for survival.

From 1 John 5:1-2:  “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child.  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey His commandments.”

I can’t imagine living a life without God in my life.  He’s my confidant, He’s my advisor, He’s my director.

From Psalm 25:4-5:  “Make me to know Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all day long.”

Reba McEntire (born 1955) is an American country music singer and actress.  She has earned the nickname of “Queen of Country.”

If we think that the Lord has suddenly abandoned us, we are walking by sight and not by faith.

From Hebrews 13:8:  “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

I know nothing which can so comfort the soul; so calm the swelling billows of sorrow and grief; so speak peace to the winds of trial, as a devout musing upon the subject of the Godhead.

From Isaiah 26:3:  “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You.“

Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) was an influential English preacher.  Even in modern times, his writings and many sermons have remained a constant source of encouragement to Christians around the world.  He has often be referred to as the “Prince of Preachers.”

Hearing Father’s voice

Every mountain sings

With faithful echoes

Praising heaven’s King

 

Showering His grace

Every valley sings

With earnest promise

Sowing trust, faith brings

 

Sending His mercy

Every village sings

With truth in His Word

Soaring eagle’s wings

 

Scattering His seeds

Every landscape sings

With divine beauty

Welcoming each spring

 

Walking in His light

Every neighbor sings

With each beating heart

Pulling on love’s strings

 

Witnessing His Son

Every sinner sings

With His righteousness

Grasping heaven’s swing

From Isaiah 30:20-21:  “Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide Himself any longer, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.  And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'”

Facing yet another day

Father’s mercy offers hand

Overcoming each challenge

Solid ground covers sinking sand

 

Trusting path of wisdom’s light

Father’s Word guides each step

Escaping evil’s darkness

Destined for Calvary’s doorstep

 

Looking back at long journey

Father’s love fills wayward heart

Trading pride with humbleness

Hope renewing from faith’s restart

 

Embracing His proven ways

Father’s grace shining ahead

Resisting darkest shadows

Filled with Son’s everlasting bread

 

Blessing Savior’s righteous road

Father’s sovereignty leads

Offering bridge to follow

Blood of Christ saves each tender reed

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

From Psalm 18:28:  “It is You who light my lamp; the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.”

Desmond Tutu (1931-2021) was a South African Anglican bishop and Christian theologian.  He was perhaps best known for his efforts as a human rights activist in dismantling his nation’s system of apartheid.
