Thanks so much for posting that O.C. blurb. I haven’t read your blog for ages and I’m so glad I checked it out, if not just to read this post, it hit me.

Good thoughts… I’ve long been a fan of Chambers.

I too have been reading Mr. Chambers’ devotionals. Good stuff!

This is fantastic and speaks to my heart in so many ways. In a culture that is all about achieving and “being somebody”–a message that has somehow overtaken my own thoughts–this is a great reminder of how the ordinary, everyday is much more important than we give it credit.

I read Utmost as a 19 year old college student, but I think that I need to revisit it. I’m sure I’d be able to absorb so much more now. Thanks for sharing the link!

That is something I struggle with daily. Wanting so much to do and be something extraordinary when I just need,
“the supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours of every day as a saint, going through drudgery, and living an ordinary, unnoticed, and ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus. It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God—but we do not.”.
What a relief to know that it’s ok to just be “little ol’ me”. God loves me just as I am. Thanks for the reminder!

I have been reading Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” every year for the past 2 or 3 years I would say. I feel like he has this amazing understanding of God that I long to possess. So, I keep reading year after year to try to do so myself. Thank you for this post. Your blog is a blessing.

Isn’t this the truth!??! Chambers just gets it, doesn’t he! My favorite line is:

“We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life”

That always seems to be the toughest part – who wants to be simply ordinary?

Thanks for the post.
