BECAUSE PEACE IS THE UTMOST,AMEN!

FROM THE BOOK "MY UTMOST TO HIS HIGHEST" BY OSWALD CHAMBERS

Agree with your adversary quickly . . . —Matthew 5:25

In this verse, Jesus Christ laid down a very important principle by saying, “Do what you know you must do— now. Do it quickly. If you don’t, an inevitable process will begin to work ’till you have paid the last penny’ ( Matthew 5:26 ) in pain, agony, and distress.” God’s laws are unchangeable and there is no escape from them. The teachings of Jesus always… Continue

PSALM 102 DEVOTIONAL-GLORY

Imagine, God can see and hear all of us! Every single soul on the earth is within His view. He knows each and every suffering of every soul, every tear,every smile, every kindness shown. Nothing escapes Him! No prayer unheeded, no action unseen and no words unheard by Him, our Almighty God. Our “all knowing” ever merciful Father, will one day wipe away every tear from our eyes. Imagine this life that seems at times so long to us but so fleeting in reality, compared to eternity. He comes to… Continue

PSALM 101 DEVOTIONAL-JOURNEY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

As I observed around me yesterday God was showing me very much so, the ways of this world. Actually, in the past few weeks I have been seeing more and more, the lies of this world, the greed and many who suffer at the hands of wickedness. The Bible says we do not belong here and that we are aliens to this world and lately that has never been more evident. Today I have never been happier to be an alien! Verse 3 of this Psalm pretty much sums up my day yesterday “I will set no wicked thing before… Continue

PSALM 100 DEVOTIONAL-HE IS GOD

This morning when I awoke, in all honesty, I did not feel up to writing a devotional today. The thought of the obstacles I have been facing just made me feel a bit lax and lazy. I sat here and this word came to mind, “discipline.” Then two minutes after my thoughts were “serve the God who loves me and will surely dissolve the obstacles in my path because it is He who has made me.” Then two minutes afterward these words “Be still and know that I am God.” I went to today’s Psalm and Lo and… Continue

PSALM 99 DEVOTIONAL-EXODUS

When we humbly call upon God for or about something in our lives and He indeed answers us in a very clear way we are to be obedient to His leading. When He gives us part of His plan but not the whole picture most times the enemy will throw something at us to hinder that plan or cast doubt on the very thing God has spoken to us about. Very recently God opened up a door for this child, gave me part of the plan and shortly afterwards in walks the little devil to hinder. That child spent…

PSALM 98 DEVOTIONAL-NEW SONG

When I think of what God has done for me in my life, which is most of the time, I feel much fullness, bursting with joy and love for Him that I can never quite find the right words to say. There are no words to express it in its fullness and nothing I can do that can ever fully demonstrate. My frame is only little but the love and joy our Lord fills me with makes me feel that I should be living in a “spandex” body in xxxxxlarge!! He saved us from death and gave us life, renewing us day by day… Continue

PSALM 97 DEVOTIONAL

PSALM 97 DEVOTIONAL

Reading this Psalm this morning made me think about how many people throughout the ages that have tried to predict a time and date on “the end of the world.” I am not sure how many have said through the years that this date or that date “the world will be no more.” It just struck me just how amazing Our God is to know from beginning to end. It caused me to really ponder and realize the depth of meaning that He IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA!!! At one time “doomsday… Continue

PSALM 96 DEVOTIONAL

In light of the recent developments in my own life and having our Lord open a door for me that I have for so long been seeking to be opened, I am once again reminded of our thankfulness to God even when things are not going so well. It is so easy to be joyful and Praise our God when a miracle or blessing occurs in our lives but can we all retain that joyfulness and keep praising Him throughout the storms KNOWING that He will bring us out of them a little stronger and a lot more glorifying to… Continue

PSALM 95 DEVOTIONAL,TESTIMONY AND PRAISE REPORT

Today’s devotional is a testimony, praise report and a devotional all rolled into one. Last year as I sat upon the rocks on Lake Huron the day before I left to come back home from my vacation and visiting my mother, I prayed!! I prayed and asked our Father “how many more times will I have to leave this place that I do not want to leave?” It was getting harder and harder for me to do so with every passing year of visiting there. I asked Him, would I ever be able to just stay there? He…

PSALM 94 DEVOTIONAL

Ooooohhh!!! This ones a harsh one, yet very true as our almighty God is omnipresent and omnipotent. Oh Lord, I pray for us all that we walk straight in Your path of righteousness and guard even our thoughts. You see all and know all Father God. Keep us from all forms of deceit, malice and persecution against us. Forgive us all our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. We know there are bad spirits that often times reside in the minds, hearts and souls of man and we pray… Continue

PSALM 93 DEVOTIONAL

PSALM 93 DEVOTIONAL

PRAISE GOD!!! His promises are FOREVER!! His Truth stands up against all that is of and in this world we live in. Amid the darkness of this world His light will never be extinguished inside of the hearts and souls of those who love Him. That light will not be snuffed out or suffocated from breaking through to a world that is full of souls who reach out to find this light. Against the trials, broken dreams, disappointments and injustice, God’s children will STAND, upright… Continue

PSALM 92 DEVOTIONAL

So often in the rush of our daily lives we forget to praise our Lord and thank Him for all that is in our lives and for life itself. How deeply is Jesus in our hearts? Just for an example, do we remember what it is like to be in love with someone? How we cannot get that person out of our minds all day no matter what we are doing and it is even difficult to concentrate on anything else? All day long we anticipate getting back to that person to be with them again but we carry them around in our… Continue

PSALM 77

There are times in our lives when we think God is not listening to our prayers or our pleas for His help in times of trouble. Times when we let doubt creep in and begin to feel and think He has forsaken us. When that doubt creeps in, is it not WE who have forsaken HIM?? When we start feeling and thinking that way are we not, in essence, saying we do…

PSALM 70

PSALM 70

When affliction is all around us and the darkness of this world surrounds us, TRUST IN THE LORD to deliver us. HE is the ONLY power that can overthrow the darkness.

Let me be your lighthouse,

Your port in every storm

Come to me, my beloved child

I’ll keep you safe and warm

When oceans swell around you,

You can banish all your fear

I’ll pluck you from the surging sea

Just trust that I am here.

In His… Continue
