    My Utmost For His Highest If God so clothe the grass of the field, … shall He not much more clothe you? Matthew 6:30. A simple statement of Jesus is always a puzzle to us if we are not simple. How are we going to be simple with the simplicity of Jesus? By receiving His…

  • LEAVE ROOM FOR GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest But when it pleased God … Gal. 1:15. As workers for God we have to learn to make room for God—to give God ‘elbow room.’ We calculate and estimate, and say that this and that will happen, and we forget to make room for God to come in as He…

  • THE OVERMASTERING DIRECTION

    My Utmost For His Highest I have appeared unto thee for this purpose. Acts 26:16.

    My Utmost For His Highest Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3. Sometimes we are fresh for a prayer meeting but not fresh for cleaning boots!Being born again of the Spirit is an unmistakable work of God, as mysterious as the wind, as surprising as God Himself.…

  • VISION AND DARKNESS

    My Utmost For His Highest An horror of great darkness fell upon him. Genesis 15:12. Whenever God gives a vision to a saint, He puts him, as it were, in the shadow of His hand, and the saint’s duty is to be still and listen. There is a darkness which comes from excess of light,…

  • IT IS THE LORD!

    My Utmost For His Highest Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God. John 20:28. “Give Me to drink.” How many of us are set upon Jesus Christ slaking our thirst when we ought to be satisfying Him? We should be pouring out now, spending to the last limit, not drawing on…

  • THE VOCATION OF THE NATURAL LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest But when it pleased God … to reveal His son in me … Gal. 1:15–16 . The call of God is not a call to any particular service; my interpretation of it may be, because contact with the nature of God has made me realize what I would like to…
