Let me share with you some of the awesome sentences I've discovered from reading Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest book of devotions.
"A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus." [Bible verse is Luke 18:22 "...come, follow Me."]
"Drudgery is the test of genuine character. The greatest hindrance in our spiritual life is that we will only look for big things to do." [Bible verse is John 13:3-5 "Jesus...took a towel and...began to wash the disciples' feet."]
"The Holy Spirit is the only one in the proper position to criticize, and He alone is able to show what is wrong without hurting or wounding." [Bible verse is Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged..."]
"Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it." [Bible verse is Jeremiah 1:8 "I am with you to deliver you."]
"Prayer is the practice of drawing on the grace of God... Pray NOW--draw on the grace of God in your moment of need." [Bible verse is 2 Corinthians 6:1 "We...plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain."]
