This devotional by Oswald Chambers really blessed me this morning.~~[b]Sent of God[/b][i]Romans 10:15[/i]The Christian worker must be sent; he must not elect to go. Nowadays that is the last thing thought of; it is a determination on the part of the individual.--This is something I can do and I am going to do it. Beware of demanding that people go into work, it is a craze; the majority of saved souls are not fit to feed themselves yet. How am I to know I have been sent of God? First, by the realization that I am utterly weak and powerless and if I am to be of any use to God, God must do it all the time.--Is this the humiliating certainty of my soul, or merely a sentimental phrase? Second, because I know I have to point men to Jesus Christ, not get them to think what a holy man I am. [b]The only way to be sent is to let God lift us right out of any sense of fitness in ourselves and place us where He will.[/b][i]-Taken from Still Higher for His Highest, February 10th, Oswald Chambers[/i]
Wonderful...[i]First, by the realization that I am utterly weak and powerless and if I am to be of any use to God, God must do it all the time.[b]Is this the humiliating certainty of my soul, or merely a sentimental phrase?[/b][/i] Oh..
