This week I decided to read My Utmost for His Highest but Oswald Chambers. If you haven't read it - it's worth picking up! Instead of following the readings assigned per day, I have decided to just read through it, one day at a time. So yesterday, I read the reading for January 2... it's definitely NOT January 2 (Thank God!!)
Anyway, the title comes from Hebrews 11:8 "He went out, not knowing where he was going" One of the points that Oswald Chambers makes is that "God does not tell you what He is going to do - He reveals to you who He is." If you know me, then you know how hard this hit me. I feel comfort knowing how things will pan out. But, according to Hebrews 11:8 and Mr. Chambers, it seems that my prayer needs to change drastically. After reading this last night and spending quality time contemplating this, I am confident that my new prayer needs to be more along the lines of: If this is where you're leading me... ok. Let's go. I may not know what is coming, but Lord give me strength that's from You to trust and go... wherever and whenever that looks like"
