Worshipping Father daily
Heart’s loyalty never meek
Witnessed through Christ’s faithfulness
Praising every truth He speaks

Embracing Father’s teachings
Righteousness fills Spirit’s flight
Commandments rise from Christ’s rock
Living through Word’s constant light

Tasting Father’s fruitful grace
Good Shepherd’s daily check-in
Each fiber of Spirit breathes
Nourishing goodness within

Trusting in Father’s wisdom
Spirit’s refreshment appears
Witness being one in Christ
Understanding always clear

Rising tides of Father’s peace
Filled with everlasting love
All chains of darkness vanquished
Knowing Christ resides above

From Proverbs 3:19-20: “The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens; by His knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.”

Prayer is not only asking, but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural.

From Matthew 7:11: “If you, then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

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.

Serenity is another word for peace; something we all long to have. Where do we find this peace? Peace comes from trusting in God.

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

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Jesus doesn’t remove all yokes; He exchanges our burdensome one for His “easy” one.

From Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Anticipate your battles, fight them on your knees before temptation comes, and you will always have the victory.

From 2 Chronicles 20:15: “He said, ‘Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the Lord to you: Do not fear or be dismayed at this great multitude, for the battle is not yours but God’s.‘”

R. A. Torrey (1856-1928) was an American Christian evangelist and Bible teacher. Reuben Archer Torrey also served as pastor, educator, and writer.

God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, “I love you.”

From 1 Corinthians 1:18:  “For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.“

Billy Graham (1918-2018) was an American Christian evangelist.

Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

From Ephesians 5:19-21:  “As you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to one another, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.“

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

From Psalm 37:8:  “Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret—it leads only to evil.”

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.

Faith is letting down our nets into the transparent deeps at the Divine command, not knowing what we shall draw.

From Hebrews 11:6: “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would approach God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.”

Francois Fenelon (1651-1715) was a French theologian, poet, and writer.  He has been widely remembered as the author of THE ADVENTURES OF TELEMACHUS.
