Be determined to know more than others . . . . When you know that you should do something and you do it, immediately you know more. Examine where you have become sluggish, where you began losing interest spiritually, and you will find that it goes back to a point where you did not do something you knew you should do. You did not do it because there seemed to be no immediate call to do it. But now you have no insight or discernment, and at a time of crisis you are spiritually distracted instead of spiritually self-controlled. It is a dangerous thing to refuse to continue learning and knowing more. . . . Beware of paying attention or going back to what you once were, when God wants you to be something that you have never been.
—Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest (June 8)
