Father’s Vision

Posted on February 25, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From Isaiah 55:9: “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Hearing of His timeless grace

Who creates all living things

Following Father’s vision

Carried upon eagle’s wings

Thirsting for grace-filled water

Forgiveness delivers light

Returning to Father’s flock

Redemption’s bridge now in sight

Breaking every sin-filled chain

Truth offers love for new day

Seeing path to Father’s grace

Evil darkness sent away

Aligning grace with His Word

Purpose rises, Savior’s peace

Piloting with Father’s eyes

Hope rekindled with faith’s lease

From Ephesians 3:20-21: “Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”

Raymond Chandler Quotes

Posted on February 19, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

A good story cannot be devised; it has to be distilled.

There is no trap so deadly as the trap you set for yourself.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959) was an American-British novelist and screenwriter. In 1932 at the age of 44, he was laid off from his business executive position because of the Great Depression’s economic downturn. This opened a door for his next career move as he pursued writing detective fiction novels.

Oswald Chambers Quote

The vision of God is the source of patience, because it imparts a moral inspiration.

From Habakkuk 2:3: “For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end and does not lie. If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

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.

Nothing so clears the vision and lifts up the life, as a decision to move forward in what you know to be entirely the will of the Lord.

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.”

John Gibson Paton (1824-1907) was a Scottish-born Christian missionary who lived and served the Lord in the South Pacific.

Life’s empty vision

Forsaking this heart

Empty days and nights

Waiting for restart

Wisdom comes forward

Warming this cold heart

Heaven’s power stirs

Blessing life’s jumpstart

Father’s divine Word

Lifting up this heart

Treasures of mercy

Bringing life’s kick start

Victory arrives

Restoring this heart

Wisdom’s vision breathes

Gracing life’s bold start

This poem is inspired from the blessed Irish hymn, “Be Thou My Vision.”
