Description

My Utmost for His Highest, by Oswald Chambers, is one of the most enduring best-sellers of our time. Noted for its rich, spiritual insights and life-changing perspectives, this classic has now been updated in today's language. The new version was edited by James Reimann and approved and authorized by the Oswald Chambers Society.

My Utmost for His Highest contains 366 daily readings encouraging you to follow Christ in every area of your life. Oswald Chambers, who died in 1917 at the age of 43, originally shared these thoughts as lectures at the Bible Training College in Clapham, England, from 1911 to 1915, and as devotional talks while serving with the Young Men's Christian Association from 1915 to 1917. These lectures and talks were later compiled by Chambers' wife and published in book form in 1927 in England, and in 1935 in the United States.

Sample Text

Let us Keep to the Point

My earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. Philippians 1:20

My Utmost for His Highest

"...my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed..." We will all feel very much ashamed if we do not yield to Jesus the areas of our lives He has asked us to yield to Him. It's as if Paul were saying, "My determined purpose is to be my utmost for His highest — my best for His glory." To reach that level of determination is a matter of the will, not of debate or of reasoning. It is absolute and irrevocable surrender of the will at that point. An undue amount of thought and consideration for ourselves is what keeps us from making that decision, although we cover it up with the pretense that it is others we are considering. When we think seriously about what it will cost others if we obey the call of Jesus, we tell God He doesn't know what our obedience will mean. Keep to the point — He does know. Shut out every other thought and keep yourself before God in this one thing only — my utmost for His highest. I am determined to be absolutely and entirely for Him and Him alone.

My Unstoppable Determination for His Holiness

"Whether it means life or death — it makes no difference!" (see Phil. 1:21). Paul was determined that nothing would stop him from doing exactly what God wanted. But before we choose to follow God's will, a crisis must develop in our lives. This happens because we tend to be unresponsive to God's gentler nudges. He brings us to the place where He asks us to be our utmost for Him and we begin to debate. He then providentially produces a crisis where we will have to decide — for or against. That moment becomes a great crossroads in our lives. If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
