“Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6:8, NLT)
When we talk about the call of God, we often forget the most important thing, namely, the nature of Him who calls…..The call of God is the expression of God’s nature, not ours. God providentially weaves the threads of His call through our lives, and only we can distinguish them. It is the threading of God’s voice to us over a certain concern…
(from My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers)
Today I am joining … Give Me Grace and Spiritual Sundays and Word of God Speak and Scripture & a Snapshot .
Beautiful! I love how Oswald Chambers describes God’s voice and hearing His call. In this noisy world of ours it can be difficult to hear His voice above all the others. Thank you for this offering today.
Mary, I love My Utmost as a devotional & have used it several times over the years. I am so grateful it was my choice for 2016 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
This is a beautiful thought, Joanne, how His call to us is woven all through our lives. Oswald Chambers was a wise man. I think I might need to go back and read some of his words again. Blessings to you!
Gayl, I have used his devotional several times over the years. I am so grateful it was my choice of devotional for 2016. He has much wisdom to offer us in these days when so many things are calling out to us. May we stay focused on Him. Blessings!
I love this image. My kids are growing and making decisions about their futures, and so much is uncertain. My oldest daughter loves to sew, and your picture is just perfect for her right now. Thank you!
Jennifer, I loved reading that you will share this with your daughter. I smiled big at the very thought of her sewing, an art lost to so many today. Blessings to you both!
