Our Lord received Himself in the fire of sorrow, He was saved not from the hour, but out of the hour.
From John 12:27-28: “Now My soul is troubled. And what should I say: ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify Your name. Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.'”
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.

“Not from the hour, but out of the hour.” A good word to hear today, brother. Blessings to you.
