Thought from Oswald....and God

Lately I have been struck by reading Oswald chambers. He is quite the author of words from God. I think a lot of what he says speaks to me through the word of God. His words are better written than mine so I shall scape to his words- Just a Guz of Oswald and God- (some are just verses that have touched me lately.)

-The foundations from which love flow are in God, not in us.- Oswald.

-Foundations of His love are in the Holy Spirit.-Oswald

-If we try to prove to God how much we love Him, it is a sure sign that we really don’t love Him. The evidence of our love for Him is the absolute spontaneity of our love, which flows naturally from His nature within us. And when we look back, we will not be able to determine why we did certain things, but we can know that we did them according to the spontaneous nature of His love in us. The life of God exhibits itself in this spontaneous way because the fountains of His love are in the Holy Spirit.-Oswald Chambers

-Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.-(Psalms 37:4).

-Gideon (Judges 6-8): 6:17-Gideon replied, "If now I have found favor in your eyes give me a sign that is it really you talking to me." 

-Judges 6:39- Then Gideon said to God, "Don't be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make the fleece dry and the ground covered with dew. 40-That night God did so.... (Feel the closeness of the relationship between Gideon and God).

-Fun--"Separate those who lap the water with their tongues like a dog from those who kneel down to drink."-God (watch who watched you drink water from a stream who knows if you will be separated because of it!). 

-James- all of it...

Remember: Do you lap water or kneel down to drink? Someone may be watching.
