The Comradeship of God

I am going to share with you part of the devotional I shared with our team on our first morning..when we had just spent our first night in Entebbe, Uganda and where we ready to start our trip into Gulu.... I was praying that God would give me a good "charge" to give to the group and he did.. He wanted us all to leave "ourselves" right there in that hotel room and only rely on Him and Him alone.

From Oswald Chambers~ (Upmost for His Highest, August 4th~The Brave Comradeship of God)

The bravery of God in trusting US! You say- "But He has been unwise to choose me, because there is nothing in me; I am not of any value." That is WHY He chose you because you have ends of your own to serve; but if you have let Him bring you to the end of your self-sufficiency then He can choose you to go with Him to Jerusalem (fill in the blank- mine was Village of Hope at the time), and that will mean the fulfillment of purposes which He does not discuss with you.

We are all apt to say, that because man has natural ability, therefore he will make a good Christian. It is not a question of our commitment, but of our poverty, not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us; not a question of natural virtues of strength of character, knowledge, and experience- all of that is of no avail in this matter.

The comradeship of God is made up out of men who know their poverty. He can do nothing with the man who thinks he is of use to God...


"Then He took with Him the twelve" ~ Luke 18:31

Where is your poverty level today?
