“Enoch walked with God … ” (Genesis 5:24)
“The test of a person’s spiritual life and character is not what he does in the extraordinary moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times when there is nothing tremendous or exciting happening. A person’s worth is revealed in his attitude toward the ordinary things of life when he is not under the spotlight …
Spiritual truth is learned through the atmosphere that surrounds us, not through intellectual reasoning. It is God’s Spirit that changes the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and then things begin to be possible which before were impossible. Getting into God’s stride means nothing less that oneness with Him.”
(Oswald Chambers, My Utmost For His Highest, October 12)

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot and Sunday Scripture Blessings and Selah .
Yes. Always trying to stay on His path and finding your way back when you notice you’ve strayed. I am loving these Oswald Chamber’s posts.
Oswald Chambers’ words have remained powerful and thought provoking, perhaps even more so than other years.
Constantly trying to remember who is at the steering wheel. Nice to know we can fall, and he helps get us back up. Have a blessed Sunday.
Sometimes I forget and think someone or something else is controlling all that is occurring. So good to be reminded – God remains sovereign over all.
I appreciate Oswald’s reminder of the importance of following God, not just in the hard times, not just in the mountain top times, but in the mundane of ordinary life-in the laundry, the dishes, the going to work, etc.
Elizabeth, it constantly amazes me how it all matters to Him. It can all make a difference. May He find us faithful.
I want to stay on that good path–by grace.
Always by His grace – which He lavishes on us!
Oswsald Chambers seems to have an appropriate quote for almost any situation. Following God in the everyday moments is what faith builds faith day-by-day.
I can so often forget it is day by day, step by step, moment by moment. It all adds up 🙂
