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.

September 10 - Missionary Weapons

Lord,
If I were to say "I'm ready
For when a crisis does arise"
But have not prepared each day
Then I'm just plain ill advised.

My daily prayer and worship
Are the tools that make me fit.
When spiritual battles come
I'll have strength that will not quit.

Practice does make perfect,
Even spiritually.
So Lord help me practice daily
To do battle totally.

Spiritual battles may come at any time; today, tomorrow, 30 years.  How prepared are you and how do you prepare?  The same way you prepare for anything - by practicing.  In this case, practicing consists of daily worship and devotions.  Don't put it off to do tomorrow or when you have time.  Pray and worship every day.  It's your best weapon.

As you can see by the date I am posting this, I need to practice my daily discipline to get this back on track daily.  Very sorry for the delay.   No excuses, just apologies.
