Oswald Chambers Quote

When God gives a vision of truth, it is never a question of what He will do, but of what we will do.

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

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.

From Deuteronomy 30:19-20:  “Choose life so that you and your descendants may live, loving the Lord your God, obeying Him, and holding fast to Him, for that means life to you and length of days, so that you may live in the land that the Lord swore to give to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

Choosing to follow

Father’s divine Word

Walking in His ways

Heaven’s light unblurred

 

Cherishing each day

Father softens heart

Guiding Spirit’s breath

Truth offers fresh start

 

Taking trusted path

Father’s saving grace

Perishing no more

Hope’s refreshing pace

 

Strengthening faith’s roots

Father’s tender hand

Living waters shine

Darkness cannot stand

 

Observing sin’s filth

Father sends His Son

Washing away debts

Mercy breathes through One

From Psalm 1:1-2:  “Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path that sinners tread or sit in the seat of scoffers, but their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law they meditate day and night.”

Whatever God did and was able to do and willing to do at any time, God is able and willing to do again, within the framework of His will.

From Psalm 29:3-4:  “The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters.  The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.”

Aiden Wilson (A. W.) Tozer (1897-1963) was an American pastor and Christian author.  He served as spiritual mentor for many Christians.

Living for Christ is the most exciting adventure in the world.

From Titus 3:4-5:  “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

From 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12:  “To this end we always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of His call and will fulfill by His power every good resolve and work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Holy shall be Father’s name

His grace praises morning sky

Walking life’s highway with Him

Prayer becomes faith’s reply

 

Righteousness fills Father’s Word

Fortified with fruitful grace

Embracing mercy’s outreach

Faith follows heavenly pace

 

Grace bears truth from Father’s light

Savior rises just as planned

Washing away sin’s darkness

Faith’s cornerstone henceforth stands

 

Love expressed in Father’s faith

Grace bequeathed in His Son’s name

Kneeling at Calvary’s cross

Forgiveness erases shame

 

Faith cherishes Father’s grace

Love fills hearts of every saint

Bringing glory in His name

Forever bright, never faint
