A Higher Standard

Just a couple quotes from today's reading in Oswald Chambers' My Utmost for His Highest --
You must maintain continual watchfulness so that nothing arises in your life that would cause you shame. . . . If you act deceitfully, God's blight and ruin will be upon you. What may be craftiness for you, may not be for others—God has called you to a higher standard. Never dull your sense of being your utmost for His highest—your best for His glory. . . . The greatest spiritual crisis comes when a person has to move a little farther on in his faith than the beliefs he has already accepted.
The full reading for Sept. 15 can be found here.

  1. Boy, he surely bears rereading again, and again, and again.

    Thanks for sharing that.

  2. In my copy of MUFHH, in the margin next to that last sentence, I have penciled in "Snellville, GA, 1983-84". A year of "spiritual crisis" in my life. We could each substitute our own marginal note—place and date—from the past (and the wise will right with a small hand, knowing there will be more dates and places to note in the future).

  3. Morning typo in the above -- "right" should obviously be "write."
