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.

To a world filling with harsh darkness

Our Heavenly Father wakens trust

God’s love conquers, crushing this starkness

Sending our Redeemer, always just

 

Jesus, the Messiah, walks the land

His Spirit deepens our mind and soul

We experience God, close at hand

Blood shed on a Cross, paying our toll

 

With every footprint Jesus makes

Walking forward, His bright light beckons

We follow with faith, make no mistake

Through our adversity, faith checks in

 

Enemy lurks, bringing temptation

Walking with Jesus, freed like a bird

In alignment with Him . . . Salvation!

Faithful “doers” of God’s Holy Word

From Psalm 3:3-4:  “But you, O Lord are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.  I cry aloud to the Lord, and He answers me from His Holy hill.”

Pride, fear, resentment, and habit are all tough evidences of the flesh.  But those who are being shaped into the image of Christ do not go the way of the flesh.

From 1 Timothy 4:7-8:  “Train yourself in godliness, for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.”

“God is our Refuge”–nothing can come through that shelter.

From Psalm 31:3-4:  “You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for Your name’s sake lead me and guide me; take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for You are my refuge.”

On our own, we can accomplish nothing.  But with God, we have access to power beyond our comprehension.

From John 15:4-5:  “Abide in Me as I abide in you.  Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me.  I am the vine; you are the branches.  Those who abide in Me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from Me you can do nothing.”

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.”
