But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. Matthew 6:33 NASB Will be provided – For many years I started my day with a page from Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest. My copy in the original 19th century English is so worn that the covers are…
Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. 2 Samuel 11:1 NASB Stayed – The story is so well known that…
So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 NASB Free – A favorite verse of those who desire unfettered living, pastors are quick to point out that “free” doesn’t mean “no obligations.” In the Roman world, free would indeed entail the right to do as I please, but that…

“I have finished the work which You gave me to do.” John 17:4 Finished – I love Oswald Chambers’ work. Years before most of us had any idea about the Hebrew worldview, God’s spirit of insight and wisdom invaded this man’s consciousness. He speaks like a rabbi. His articulations of biblical truth resound with Hebrew…
Do not labor for the food which perishes but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for God the father sealed this one. John 6:27 Do Not Labor – The daily devotional of Oswald Chambers for July 27 is profound. One of the sentences reads,…
