My prayer for you and for me is that we can live our lives with the utmost confidence in God and be downright joys for Jesus. The best kind of faithfulness is doing the thing God has set before you, without fear.

For me, what overrides fear is not getting wrapped up in the chaos that creates panic and makes us think God is absent … and instead, looking to God amidst the chaos. I want to be confident in God in all circumstances. I love the idea of “being a downright joy in the heart of Jesus” like Oswald Chambers writes about. We get to our wit’s end, showing that we have not the slightest confidence in him and his government of the world… What a pain will go through us when we realize we might have produced downright joy in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in him no matter what was ahead.“ Our trust is in God up to a certain point, then we go back to the elementary panic prayers of those who do not know God. “God expects his children to be so confident in him that in any crisis, they are the reliable ones. (he had a huge heart for the soldiers and preached many of his sermons there).Īnd a bonus fact: All of Oswald’s books were transcribed from his sermon notes by his wife, Gertrude “Biddy” Hobbs Chambers. After starting the college, he moved to Egypt with his wife and daughter where he took an assignment at the Y.M.C.A.

He was a minister and started a Bible training college.My Utmost for His Highest is his most popular and has never been out of print … isn’t that crazy?

Oswald Chambers was born on July 24, 1874, and died November 15, 1917.
