From 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

Sovereignty means that ultimately God alone has the right to declare what creation should be.
From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Stanley Grenz (1950-2005) was an American theologian and Christian writer.

Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you.
You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.
Mandy Hale is an American author and speaker.

With element of mystery
Father’s divine plan evolves
Man imprisoned with transgressions
Faithful mercy shall resolve
Always leading with light of hope
Each treasured gift to embrace
Journey fulfills Father’s glory
Righteousness surrounds man’s space
Topped off with Father’s steadfast love
Filled with purpose in His name
Deliverance as He promised
Spirit igniting faith’s flame
Everything shall work together
Father forgives, lifting man up
Justified by faith, through His grace
Sharing His wisdom close-up
Tomorrow’s appointments scripted
Each written in Father’s hand
Choose to follow His Holy Word
Trusted guidance as He planned


So we are to live and move and have our being in God, to look at everything in relation to God, because the abiding consciousness of God pushes itself to the front all the time.
From Psalm 25:12: “Who are they who fear the Lord? He will teach them the way that they should choose.”
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.

Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and trust that in this moment, who you are, where you are at, and what you are doing is enough.
You get to decide what you accept and what you let go. You get to choose how to honor yourself, and how to protect your heart.

The Lord is first, my friends are second, and I am third.
From Proverbs 3:6: “In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
Gayle Sayers (1943-2020) was an American professional football player. Nicknamed the “Kansas Comet,” Sayers was gracious with receiving his many football honors. Most of all, his life’s philosophy was reflected in this quote.
From Psalm 142:3-4: “When my spirit is faint, You know my way. In the path where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me. Look on my right hand and see: there is no one who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for me.”

Floundering at life’s darkest end
Feeling trust in patience sinking
Plunging ever deeper . . . deeper
Faith’s emptiness never shrinking
Wandering away from Shepherd
Seeing only darkness ahead
Feeling last breath of hope fading
Faith missing blessed, daily bread
Following one more false promise
Running into final dead end
Finding lost anchor’s solid rock
Faith at last, refuses to bend
Rising with hope’s trusted beacon
Lighting way on Emmaus Road
Praying without ceasing to God
Faith’s living water, overflowed
Worshipping in Gospel’s safe place
Facing each new day without fear
Tracking to follow Shepherd’s voice
Faith’s tomorrow, forever clear

From Psalm 23:1-2: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters.”
