All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
From Psalm 37:8: “Refrain from anger and forsake wrath. Do not fret—it leads only to evil.”
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.
Excellent quote! I enjoy the updated version of Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest daily devotion. The current-day language offers keen insights for practical use in our daily lives.

Thank you for sharing your perspective of Chamber’s devotional writings. My reading is filled with many faithful resources, and his book is read from nearly every week.
