CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for
pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought
into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all
disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. To Corinthians 10, for
six at any cost, by any road means nothing self-chosen in the way God
brings us to the goal, there is no possibility of questioning God when
He speaks, if He speaks to His own nature in me. Prompt obedience is the
only result.

When Jesus says, Come, I simply come, when He says, Let go, I let go,
when He says, Trust God in this matter, I trust. This work of obedience
is the evidence that the nature of God is in me. It is through the
discipline of obedience that I get to the place where Abraham was and I
see who God is.

God will never be real to me until I come face to face with Him in Jesus
Christ. Then I will know and can boldly proclaim, In all the world, my
God, there is none but Thee, there is none but Thee. The promises of God
are of no value to us until, through obedience, we come to understand
the nature of God.

We may read some things in the Bible every day for a year and they may
mean nothing to us. Then, because we have been obedient to God in some
small detail, we suddenly see what God means and His nature is instantly
opened up to us. All the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him
amen.

The yea must be born of obedience. When by the obedience of our lives we
say amen to a promise, then that promise is ours. Oswald Chambers, my
utmost for His highest, November 17th, my goal is God Himself, not joy
nor peace, nor even blessing, but Himself, my God.

Tis His who led me there, not mine but His. At any cost, dear Lord, by
any road.
