WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Every element of our own self–reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.

8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it (the thorn in the flesh) away from me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9

He First Loved Us. 

The secret things belong to God.
I respect the Lord’s privacy.
Never do I desire to know all things,
They are far too much for me.
If ever I should ask amiss
Curiosity wanting just a peek
His answer is a silent kiss,
Meaning I soon enough shall see.
Never do I want to know all,
Too much evil surrounds about me
Enough to know He won’t let me fall.
If I knew God’s secret plans
The enemy would know and call.
~G.W.

"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law." Deuteronomy 29:29

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS

God engineers circumstances to prove us. Will we be the children of our Father in heaven, or will we go back again to the lower, common–sense attitude? Will we stake all and stand true to Him? “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” The crown of life means I shall see that my Lord has got the victory after all, even in me.

O LORD, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;

Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him.
