Be united with other Christians. A wall with loose bricks is not good. The bricks must be cemented together.

“From 1 Corinthians 3:16: “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?“

Corrie ten Boom (1892-1983) was a Dutch watchmaker and later on a Christian writer and public speaker. As part of the Dutch resistance during World War II, she and her family protected hundreds of Jewish people from Nazi persecution. Eventually she was captured and sent to a concentration camp. She and a nephew were her family’s only survivors of the Holocaust.

Praising Father above
Light reflected in His Word
Boundless in its depth
Strengthening through what’s heard

Gathering in worship
Righteous-filled interactions
Boundless energy
Leading faith to action

Dwelling in every heart
Joined together through prayer
Boundless connections
Receiving peace to share

Trusting in tomorrow
Savior opens Heaven’s light
Boundless in its truth
Transforming mankind’s plight

Resurrecting each heart
Father’s glory to embrace
Boundless Spirit stirs
Raising Christ’s destined grace

God’s grace sees beyond our deepest need. He meets us where we are, talking straight to us in terms that even we can understand.

From 2 Corinthians 5:17-18: “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; look, new things have come into being! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.”

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

We are never more fulfilled than when our longing for God is met by His presence in our lives.

From Psalm 16:11: “You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

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

Oswald Chambers Quote

God’s end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now.

From Mark 6:49-50: “But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out, for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'”

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.

Heaven Bound

From Nehemiah 9:6: “And Ezra said, ‘You are the Lord, You alone; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. To all of them You give life, and the host of heaven worships You.'”

Viewing Calvary’s cross

Harboring Savior’s blood

Marking enemy’s loss

Springing forth, mercy’s bud

Filling lungs with praises

Singing to most high God

Tasting life He raises

Witnessing grace now thawed

Making each joyful sound

Worshipping with gladness

Sending each, Heaven bound

Breathing without sadness

Traveling oceans deep

Guiding from heavens’ stars

Leading all wayward sheep

Knowing Christ never far

Entering Shepherd’s gate

Giving thanks in God’s name

Feeling sin’s empty weight

Trusting redemption’s claim

From Psalm 100:1-2: “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

Jesus Christ was always consistent to God, and the Christian must be consistent to the life of the Son of God in him, not consistent to hard and fast creeds.

From Luke 14:27: “Whoever does not carry the cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.”

Shall Come Again

Posted on April 30, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From Lamentations 3:22-24: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The Lord is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in Him.'”

Eternity’s light

Shall never dim

Remember Calvary

Tomb emptied of Him

Raking through ashes

Ember’s flame used

Faith in Gospel rises

Memories infused

Prayers of witness

God’s promised Word

Trust in faith’s nourishment

Every whisper heard

Joy’s breath coming back

Light full of grace

Spirit always present

Hope fills welcome place

Christ reigns forever

Shall come again

With Heaven’s ticket punched

Only He knows when

From Isaiah 60:1: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.

From Isaiah 26:3-4: “Those of steadfast mind You keep in peace, in peace because they trust in You. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock.”

Leo Buscaglia (1924-1998) was an American author and motivational speaker.
