Absolute Surrender to God's Will
Oswald Chambers emphasizes the necessity of yielding completely to Jesus Christ. True devotion requires an 'absolute and irrevocable surrender' of our will to God. This surrender is not about debating or reasoning but about a decisive act of will. Chambers states, 'My determination is to be my utmost for His Highest.' This means prioritizing God's call over personal considerations, even when it involves significant sacrifices. For instance, when we worry about the impact of our obedience on others, we are essentially doubting God's wisdom. Chambers encourages readers to 'shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only - My Utmost for His Highest.'
