My utmost for his highest september 1
You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to direct you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you include had your dreams and nap robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.
Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and provide you back your passion. This is where you will touch a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to quit the trenches behind and launch your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.
This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a diverse place, from victory, from peace, and from res

When I add my comments to a familiar function, it is not to belittle the beloved author. Such was the case when I began the series Beyond a Mere Christianity in reference to C.S. Lewis’ book.
I cut my spiritual eye-teeth on My Utmost for His Highest. The thought I plan here with Oswald Chambers’ accepted devotional is to share what the Lord has continued to show me through the years. With Chamber’s devotional and my studying all the books that were attributed to his lectures, there has been much more from God’s Word to steer me in my understanding of the difference in what is required of me and what God does, Himself. As I continued in my desire to serve the Lord, Andrew Murray taught me how to stride. Paul taught me to dash with Christ. Christ still teaches me how to be still, to wait, to depend on Him for He is my life.
Oswald Chambers died at the age of 43 after complications from appendicitis. Learning this from his biogr
That small book was My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers (and his widow), a Scottish evangelist and army chaplain.
Chambers died relatively young while serving in Cairo, Egypt during the First World War. After his death, his wife Biddy composed his various journals and sermon notes and compiled them. As a court stenographer, she had kept precise records of her husband’s talks.
Biddy published 30 books under her husband’s name posthumously. Shockingly, she hardly left any sign of her own vital role in the making of one of the most well-known Christian devotionals.
A common theme throughout My Utmost is perseverance through the ordinary. If the Christian journey is a slow plod, then daily obedience to God in the mundane seasons is key to living for him. We must never overlook opportunities to reflect Christ—even in our daily routines.
These quotes from My Utmost contain applications for 1) the missionary doubting if his small ministry efforts are worthwhile, and 2) every Christian, since we are all called to be faithful, even in the little things.
