Today I want to share a portion of "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers:
Jesus rarely comes where we expect Him; He appears where we least expect Him, and always in the most illogical connections. The only way a worker can keep true to God is by being ready for the Lord’s surprise visits. It is not service that matters, but intense spiritual reality, expecting Jesus Christ at every turn. This will give our life the attitude of child-wonder which He wants it to have. If we are going to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
If you are looking off unto Jesus, avoiding the call of the religious age you live in, and setting your heart on what He wants, on thinking on His line, you will be called unpractical and dreamy; but when He appears in the burden and the heat of the day, you will be the only one who is ready. Trust no one, not even the finest saint who ever walked this earth, ignore him, if he hinders your sight of Jesus Christ.
I have often heard this phrase said of people that other believers simply did not understand! "They are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good." Have YOU heard this before? Well, it is simply NOT TRUE! The more Heavenly minded we are, the MORE good we will be to everyone that we come in contact with! The ONLY Answer for all of the evil that we see going on all around the world right now is Jesus Christ and a personal relationship With Him! Is there ANY reason that YOU can't receive Jesus as Lord and Savior right now? Go to our website through the link on the left and find out how to pray to become a born again believer! Now, begin to REALLY live! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "His Glory Appears":Shalom in Him!
