Will To Be Faithful
. . . choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . —Joshua 24:15
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was born in Scotland and spent much of his boyhood there. His ministry of teaching and preaching took him for a time to the United States and Japan. The last six years of his life were spent as principal of the Bible Training College in London,and as a chaplain to British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War l. After his death, the books which bear his name were compiled by his wife from her own verbatim shorthand notes of his talks.
. . . choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve . . . —Joshua 24:15
Enter by the narrow gate . . . . Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life . . . —Matthew 7:13-14
The parched ground shall become a pool . . . —Isaiah 35:7
Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass —Psalm 37:5
Do not fret— it only causes harm —Psalm 37:8
Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips . . . —Isaiah 6:5
If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also . . . . And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me . . . . So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple —Luke 14:26-27, 33
You will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny —Matthew 5:26
In this verse, Jesus Christ laid down a very important principle by saying, “Do what you know you must do— now. Do it quickly. If you don’t, an inevitable process will begin to work ’till you have paid the last penny’ (Matthew 5:26) in pain, agony, and distress.”
