We act like pagans in a crisis, only one out of a crowd is daring enough to bank his faith in the character of God.

From Luke 9:61-62:  “Another said, ‘I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.’  And Jesus said to him, ‘No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.'”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.
