Oswald Chamber’s My Utmost for His Highest never fails to open my eyes to a refreshing perspective. Refreshing, because I should have known it, and I probably knew it, but I had forgotten. And importantly, he always brings us round to remember that our goal is God is himself, not even our service to God, or other godly people or books.
Look to Me, and be saved . . . —Isaiah 45:22
Excerpts:
Do we expect God to come to us with His blessings and save us? He says, "Look to Me, and be saved..." The greatest difficulty spiritually is to concentrate on God ...
... Many of us have a mental picture of what a Christian should be, and looking at this image in other Christians’ lives becomes a hindrance to our focusing on God. ...
... Wake yourself up and look to God. Build your hope on Him. No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you, be determined to push them aside and look to Him. "Look to Me . . . ." Salvation is yours the moment you look.
