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.

August 23 - Prayer - Battle in "The Secret Place"

Lord,
I hear there is a "Secret Place"
Where You and I should meet.
I think it's not a place at all
But a spiritual retreat.

It's the place my mind can go to
In the blinking of an eye.
Where You see me as You made me,
No artifice or lie.

Whether all alone or in a crowd
I can find our secret place.
Lord, You wait there for me
To refresh me with Your grace.

Doing this study has opened my eyes to things I never realized that seem so obvious now.  "The Secret Place" - what  a beautiful way of explaining how very special God wants our relationship with Him to be.

(In case you don't know what study I'm referring to:  "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers.  It is a daily devotional from Discovery House Publishers edited by James Reimann.  copyright 1992.)
