If the crisis has come to you on any line, surrender your will to Him absolutely and irrevocably. Born in Scotland, Chambers had a teaching and preaching ministry. He brings us to the place where He asks us to be our utmost for Him, and we begin to debate then He produces a providential crisis where we have to decide - for or against, and from that point the “Great Divide” begins. Join us for a daily dose of spiritual wisdom from Oswald Chambers radical devotional My Utmost For His Highest. Standing for decades as the top-selling devotional in America, My Utmost for His Highest continues to be thought-provoking and inspiring and will be cherished for years to come. Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) is best known for the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest. God’s order has to work up to a crisis in our lives because we will not heed the gentler way. Paul is determined that nothing shall deter him from doing exactly what God wants. “Whether that means life or death, no matter!” (v.21). Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only - “My Utmost for His Highest.” I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and for Him alone. When we consider what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He does not know what our obedience will mean. An over-weening consideration for ourselves is the thing that keeps us from that decision, though we put it that we are considering others. Paul says - “My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest.” To get there is a question of will, not of debate nor of reasoning, but a surrender of will, an absolute and irrevocable surrender on that point. “My eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed.” We shall all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus on the point He has asked us to yield to Him.
