The Path of Perpetual Wonder

I have a well-worn copy of My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers on my shelf. Actually, I have several copies. I received a couple of them when I graduated from high school and never opened them. I received another one summer for being on staff as a camp counselor. I did use that one...but only during the summer. Finally, I bought my own copy upon graduating from college to use in an accountability group with a couple of high school girls. That is the one that is well-worn.

I am relatively sure that I still have not read the entire devotional. It is a difficult read in some ways, cutting you to the core. That can get exhausting. Still, it is a book I return to again and again.

As I browsed through it again today, I ran across this quote. I have nothing to add. His words say it all. I thought this might speak to you all in the midst of the uncertainty called college. May it inspire and challenge you as you seek to follow Him.

"You do not know what you are going to do;the only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing. Continually revise your attitude towards God and see if it is a going out of everything, trusting in God entirely. It is this attitude that keeps you in perpetual wonder - you do not know what God is going to do next. Each morning you wake it is to be a "going out," building in confidence on God.

Have you been asking God what He is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do; He reveals to you Who He is."
