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 11 - Missionary Weapons (II)

Lord,
You show me that my mission field
Is not half a world away,
But includes people I deal with
Each and every day.

If I can't help a sales clerk
Or cab driver know You more,
Then I defeat the purpose
That You have made me for.

Help me, God, to recognize
The mission every day
And to be ready in Your word
As I worship and I pray.

It's not only about doing daily devotions and worship, but to translate this into your life as you relate to others.  They are your mission field each day and God expects you to help them to know Him.
