Darkness, evil abound

Our Champion arrives

Freeing chained hearts with praise

Faith growing in our lives

 

Graced by shed blood of Christ

Facing every hour

Wisdom, courage unite

Strongest bonds of power

 

Standing as God’s people

Walking as peacemakers

Sowing seeds from His faith

Harvest Glory’s acres

 

Christ’s journey lights His way

Centered on His people

Calling us, step forward

Blessed Cross, our steeple

 

Jesus’ pierced hands of change

Steady feet meet life’s quest

Lasting voice for justice

Renewing lives, each test

 

Glory fills God’s Kingdom

From His Heaven above

Nothing stops living grace

Salvation’s gift, free love

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.”

Warren Wiersbe (1929-2019) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  His journey as a Christian teacher was prolific with publication of over 50 books.

God’s grand strategy, birthed in His grace toward us in Christ, and nurtured through the obedience of disciplined faith, is to release us into the redeemed life of our heart.

John Eldredge (born 1960) is an American author, counselor, and lecturer on Christianity.  More details are available on his website:  wildatheart.org.

We are all in the same boat, in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.

What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but absence of self-criticism.

Gilbert Keith (G. K.) Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English Christian writer.

When the heart submits, then Jesus reigns.  When Jesus reigns, there is rest.

From Jeremiah 29:13-14:  “When you search for Me, you will find Me; if you seek Me with all your heart, I will let you find Me, says the Lord.”

The Son’s obedience was as Redeemer, because He was Son, not in order to be Son.

From John 13:13:  “You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.”

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 Luke 2:8-11:  “Now in that same region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.  Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'”

Humble shepherds

Tending flocks at night

Angel sharing great news

Shining from Bethlehem’s light

 

Minds awaken

Praising with great joy

Hearts filling with wonder

Witnessing love in this boy

 

Promise fulfilled

Giving thanks to God

Savior comes to rescue

Raising hope, at last unthawed

 

Darkness conquered

Forgiving man’s sin

Forever, King of Kings

Locking redemption’s linchpin

When we lack the peace of God, we should turn to our peace with God.
