Your Spirit lives in me, Lord.
I try to let Him lead,
But sometimes I'm living so loud,
His voice I do not heed.
I try to keep me current,
Not living in the past.
Discovering You more daily,
Renews my spirit fast.
Lord, help me pay attention,
To heed Your still, small voice,
And never ever quench it,
But to make the better choice.

So often I only think of one possible meaning of a word and this time it is quench. I tend to see it as a positive word meaning to satisfy where Chambers uses the meaning to extinguish. His text explains how to keep from extinguishing the Spirit when He is trying to lead us with His still, small voice. We need to try to stay in tune with God to really hear the voice.
Welcome!
I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.
