My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers is the most amazing devotional book I've come across. Compiled from a series of lectures given by Chambers between 1911 and 1915, I'm often amazed by how relevant they remain even today. Though the language is sometimes a bit archaic the message is timeless and I've gleaned more insight into my faith through his words than I have from any book other than my bible.
Times of devotion are a challenge for me to maintain - I take on the commitment of daily devotions with great fervor only to find my enthusiasm flag months, perhaps even just weeks later. Now that I'm a mother and feel the responsibility of raising up a child weighing heavily upon me, I know that now more than ever it is critical that I maintain my spiritual health and my commitment to the God who created me - and my precious son.
These are my thoughts on those devotionals - my comments and considerations of each days offering from Oswald Chambers. His dedication is inspiring and his words fodder for further reflection. It is through these devotions that I'm continuing my journey of faith. Through them, I seek to simply grow in Christ, my life becoming more and more a reflection of His amazing love and grace.
