Reflection

Oswald Chambers writes:

The key to the missionary's work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost

That's comforting and puts me in my place at the same time. I like to meet needs. But whenever life seems to be getting more difficult, more complicated than before, it's probably because I have that wrong. It's probably because I'm responding to needs and not looking solely towards the authority of Jesus Christ. Because it's life: it's always complicated and there are always difficult situations. That doesn't change much. But God's authority is over us in whatever circumstance, and that never changes either.


P.S. I highly recommend that everyone read "My Utmost for His Highest" by Oswald Chambers
