We have to get out into faith in Jesus Christ continually; not a prayer meeting Jesus, nor a book Jesus, but the New Testament Jesus, Who is God Incarnate, and Who ought to strike us to His feet as dead. Jesus Christ wants our absolute abandon of devotion to Himself. -O.C. #truth
Never put your hand in front of the circumstances & say— “I am going to be my own providence here; I must watch this, & guard that.” All your circumstances are in the hand of God, therefore never think it strange concerning the circumstances you are/were in.-OC #truth#dailytruth
"Trouble and anguish have found me out, but your commandments are my delight.” Psalm 119:143
Not just before, and not just after, but in the trouble, your word is my delight.
Because the delight is not that the word leads to ease, but that the trouble leads to glory.
Jesus says, “And I will give you rest,” Not — I will put you to bed and hold your hand and sing you to sleep; but — I will get you out of bed, out of the languor and exhaustion, out of the state of being half dead while you are alive; -O. C. #myutmostforhishighest#LIVEforJesus
Intercession leaves you neither time nor inclination to pray for your own “sad sweet self.” The thought of yourself is not kept out, because it is not there to keep out; you are completely and entirely identified with God’s interests in other lives. -O.C. #myutmostforhishighest
The call of God is not for the special few, it is for everyone. Whether or not I hear God’s call depends upon the state of my ears; and what I hear depends upon my disposition. O.C. #truth#myutmostforhishighest

"We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame." —Romans 5:3–5
"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit."
