The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out; and it is important to maintain a balanced life.

From Colossians 1:9-10: “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

Posted on February 13, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

I know that Jesus Christ did not come to teach only: He came to make me what He teaches I should be.

From Colossians 1:9-10: “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.”

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.

From James 1:2-5: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face various trials, consider it all joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and whole, lacking in nothing. If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.”

Trusting with confidence

Facing life’s many trials

Testing of faith endures

Patience studies each mile

God supplies every tool

His wisdom offers light

Faith strengthened every day

Removing doubts each night

Leaving evil’s darkness

Rising sun brings great joy

Receiving peace through grace

Richness in truth deploys

Temptation’s breath withers

Forgiveness brings fresh start

Every chain now broken

Filling hope in one’s heart

Persevering each day

Walking with Christ above

Embracing tomorrow

Submission tastes His love

With Single Voice

Posted on February 5, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

Conflict’s illumination

Breathing at darkened crossroads

Competing sides debate

Feuding over each thought sowed

Wisdom arrives with patience

Lowering volume through grace

Pausing time to listen

Slowing down rhetoric’s pace

Conflict’s common ground merges

Finding compromise through peace

Hearing words of reason

Solving puzzle’s missing piece

Wisdom empowers new day

Offering one blessed choice

Walking together now

Gathering with single voice

Wisdom’s fountain of life

Vision of Christ unblurred

Blessing days without strife

Measuring every word

Wisdom’s voice fills each mind

Left hand joins truth of right

Maturing faith aligned

Cascading from Christ’s light

Wisdom’s appetite knows

Joy in Christ, never cease

Sowing hope’s seeds, trust flows

Reaping from fields of peace

Wisdom’s patience merging

Just as Father hath planned

Witnessing strength surging

Reaching out from Christ’s hand

Wisdom’s honest sweetness

Christ transforms man’s blindness

Filling life’s completeness

Building grace of kindness

From Proverbs 16:24: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”
