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 27 - Living Your Theology

Lord,
You know how dark the path I walk,
The things that drag at me.
I founder helplessly along.
Your light can set me free.

I can't pull a string or flip a switch.
The key is in my heart,
Where my love and trust in You, Lord,
Invites Your light to start.

When I'm walking in Your light, Lord,
That's where I want to be.
I must renew my faith in You
And Your light continuously.

We must never take for granted our relationship with Jesus.  He wants to give us all we need, especially His light.   But, as humans, we continue to think that being saved  is "good enough" and we don't need to nurture the relationship.  We bear no fruit if our relationship with Christ is all about past events and not living in the now.
