The Quill and Me—A Devotional Blog

Beginning January 1st, I started writing daily reflections on My Utmost for His Highest (Oswald Chambers' golden book). If you are here for spiritual growth, begin where the golden book begins—the January 1— Chambers Reflection (linked). In a natural progression, Chambers takes us a little deeper every day. These posts are part of my own spiritual growth, and I walk them before, during, and after I write them. They often begin long and full and I trim them so they become a short, gentle read. They're rich with spiritual insight and often include a prayer and a breath prayer. 
This is the current core of this blog. (today's date 04/07/2026)

🌿 Earlier Devotionals
Before the Chambers reflections, I wrote Daily Verse & Prayer (Dec 1, 2025 – Mar 14, 2026). These posts are mostly short Scripture, reflection, and prayer entries and remain as an archive of the early days of this work.

The Meaning of Forgiveness and a Prayer Prayer Illustration Offer after the Benediction Forgiveness Meaning :  What the Bible Teaches About Letting Go Bible Verses About Forgiveness Matthew 18:21–22 (KJV) Then came Peter to Him, and said, “Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?” Jesus saith unto him, “I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.” Matthew 18:21–22 (NLT) Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?” “No!” Jesus replied, “seventy times seven!” Luke 23:34 (KJV) Then said Jesus, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” And they parted His raiment, and cast lots.

December 2: 1 Peter 5:7 Do Not Worry (Bible Verse and Prayer)

Bible Verse 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you ." KJV Give all your worries and cares to God, because he cares about what happens to you .  (NLT -New Living Translation) Reflection Worry has a way of creeping into our hearts, especially when life feels uncertain. Yet this verse reminds us that we are not meant to carry the weight alone. God’s care is not distant or abstract — it is personal, tender, and constant. Every detail of our lives matters to Him. When we release our burdens into His hands, we exchange anxiety for peace. It doesn’t mean the challenges disappear, but it does mean we walk through them with courage, knowing the Lord is holding us steady. Today, let us practice surrender by naming our worries and laying them before Him, trusting His love to carry what we cannot. Prayer Father, I lay my worries at Your feet.  Please give me calm for my mind and courage for my work, and remind me -   You hold every detail.  In J...

March 12: Mark 10:28 - The Choice of Christ Alone (Today's Reflection from My Utmost For His Highest)

Bible Verse Mark 10:28 "Peter began to say to Him, 'See, we have left all and followed You' " Reflection Total surrender is never a transaction—it is a preference. Not a preference for relief, usefulness, holiness, or spiritual gain, but a quiet, unwavering choosing of Jesus Christ Himself. Peter’s words, “We have left all and followed You,” reveal how easily we imagine surrender as something we give for something in return. But Jesus redirects the entire center of gravity: “for My sake and the gospel’s.” Chambers presses into the uncomfortable truth—we often want God’s gifts more than God. We want cleansing, usefulness, spiritual brightness, or a sense of being “on display” as proof of His work in us. But genuine surrender is not motivated by any of these. It is the laying down of every subtle self-claim so that Christ becomes the only reason, the only aim, the only desire. True surrender goes beyond natural devotion. It steps past the excuses we make in the name of ...
