If we think that the Lord has suddenly abandoned us, we are walking by sight and not by faith.
From Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

One More Onboard
From Hebrews 10:22: “Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”
Faith filled with confidence
Sanctuary’s door opens wide
Backed by shed blood of Christ
Flesh given at cross, where He died
Faith’s lasting commitment
Inner resources standing firm
Backed by trust found in Christ
Great High Priest shall always affirm
Faith witnesses Good News
Sufficient to pass any test
Backed by grace, sent from Christ
Holy Spirit shall never rest
Faith’s hunger filled with hope
Unwavering assurance holds
Backed by love, shared through Christ
Mercy guides heart to Heaven’s fold
Faith walks with endurance
Always forward to God’s reward
Backed by witness of Christ
Redemption brings one more onboard
From Hebrews 10:35-36: “Do not, therefore, abandon that boldness of yours; it brings a great reward. For you need endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what was promised.”

God knows, right down to the final nub, exactly where you are in life. He sees. He cares. He is aware. And best of all, He is touched by it.
From Exodus 3:7: “Then the Lord said, ‘I have observed the misery of My people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings.'”
Taken From a Church Sign
When life is not a bed of roses, remember who wore the crown of thorns.
From John 19:1-6: “Then Pilate took Jesus and had Him flogged. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they dressed Him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to Him, saying, ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ and striking Him on the face. Pilate went out again and said to them, ‘Look, I am bringing Him out to you to let you know that I find no case against Him.’ So Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, ‘Behold the man!’ When the chief priests and the police saw Him, they shouted, ‘Crucify Him! Crucify Him!'”
Oswald Chambers Quote
God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says–“I will be with him in trouble.”
From Romans 8:35: “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?
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.

True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.
From Galatians 2:20: “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer. Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers. This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

Robert Fulghum Quote
What’s necessary to live a meaningful life–that isn’t all that complicated. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.
From Proverbs 5:5-6: “Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget nor turn away from the words of My mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.”
Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author.
