Unconditional, none greater

Father’s steadfast and faithful love

He witnesses each human stain

Yet, His grace forgives from above

 

Eternity’s river of hope

Father’s truth expressed through His love

Heavenly spirit’s mercy flows

Righteousness descends from above

 

Enemy’s darkness now shattered

Father’s peace illuminates love

Patience always slow to anger

Angelic praises from above

 

Judgment left to His caring hands

Father’s vision expresses love

Invites man’s actions of kindness

Sunrise always leads from above

 

Truth sown from greatest commandment

Father looks inward at man’s love

Shared with every generation

Joy destined to praise from above

Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves, defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.

From Psalm 91:14-16:  “Those who love Me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know My name.  When they call to Me, I will answer them; I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them.  With long life I will satisfy them and show them My salvation.”

Samuel Dickey (S. D.) Gordon (1859-1936) was an American Christian author and evangelist.

Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.

Witnessing through Christ’s love

Every vision will be made real if we have patience.  Think of the enormous leisure of God!  He is never in a hurry.

From Isaiah 35:6b-7a:  “For waters shall break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool and the thirsty ground springs of water.”

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.
