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 6 - The Far Reaching Rivers of Life

Lord,
I've always loved the river;
The sight, the sound, the power.
The way it faces obstacles
Without a doubt or cower.

Make my life like a river,
Proclaiming You in me.
Make Your love and blessings
Flow through me steadily.

I know I will meet obstacles.
My focus will be tested,
But my deep river will flow on
As with You I stay invested.

A river is such a good way to describe our spiritual life.  Our spiritual life changes constantly like the river but it also grows stronger, faces obstacles and overcomes them.
