March 31: Heedfulness Vs. Hypocrisy in Ourselves

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0331.html To keep from becoming critical of people because of their failings, remember: "There, except for the grace of God, go I!"

March 30: Holiness V. Hardness Towards God

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0330.html As amazing as it seems, there is really one answer to each and every problem. SEEK JESUS!!! Avoid the snare of seeking the answer to the problem, just focus all your energy toward BEING WITH HIM!!!

March 29: Our Lord's Surprise Visits

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0329.html Don't you think it is ironic that the very people that will make fun of you for being too spiritual are the same ones that will come to you for help when they are in trouble? Don't ever forget that when Jesus is your strength, you become the strength, the "strong tower" for many of those around you.

March 28: Isn't There Some Misunderstanding?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0328.html There have been lots of times when I didn't understand the importance of what the Lord asked me to do, either from Scripture or from that "still, small Voice". Over the years I've learned that often I'll NEVER understand until I obey. And guess what....not even once has He ever been wrong!!

March 27: Vision by Personal Character

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0327.html I don't know about you, but I'm just lazy. I sometimes get tired of always striving to go higher. ...But, oh, the rewards....

March 26: Vision by Personal Purity

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http//www.myutmost.org/03/0326.html Guard what has been entrusted to your care. Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith... Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you - guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. I Timothy 6:20-21; II Timothy 1:14.

March 25: The Most Delicate Mission on Earth

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0325.html I cringe to think how often I am tempted to be an "amateur providence," trying to spare people the suffering that is a natural consequence of the choices they have made. That is directly interfering with God's mode of bringing them to Himself.

March 24: Decreasing Into His Purpose

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0324.html We must remember that chaos in a life is sometimes spiritual surgery...painfully difficult to watch, but vitally necessary.

March 23: Am I Carnally Minded?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0323.html "You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside." Amen to that!!!

March 22: The Burning Heart

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0322.html "When God gives a vision, transact busines on that line, no matter what it costs."

March 21: Interest or Indentification?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0321.html By far, the most difficult task I've ever encountered in my life is the struggle to renounce "my claim to my right to myself." But, oh, how worth the struggle!!! If successful, the result is "faith which has overleapt all conscious bounds, the identical faith of the Son of God." WOW!!

March 20: Friendship With God

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0320.html This is is important: "When you are rightly related to God, it is a life of freedom and liberty and delight, you are God's will, and all your common-sense decisions are His will for you unless He checks [makes you feel uncomfortable]." We all need to decide WHY we want to be a Christian. Is it because we want God or because we want the things He can give us?

March 19: The Way of Abraham in Faith

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0319.html Remember: Often the world's view of success and God's idea of true success are totally opposite things!!

March 18: Shall I Rouse Myself Up to This?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0318.html

March 17: The Worker's Ruling Passion

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0317.html

March 16: The Master Assizes

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0316.html

March 15: The Discipline of Dismay

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0315.html "When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy."

March 14: Obedience

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0314.html

March 13: The Abandonment of God

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0313.html May we all remember that our call is just to show Jesus to the world...to talk about Him, love like Him, walk where He walks. We must allow nothing to interfere with that!!

March 12: Abandonment

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0312.html "If we only give up something to God because we want more back, there is nothing of the Holy Spirit in our abandonment: it is miserable commercial self-interest."

March 11: Vision

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0311.html Chambers says, "If God sows you, you will bring forth fruit." We must be willing to be the seed that has to transform before the evidence of fruit comes forth.

March 10: Have a Message and Be One

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0310.html These are profound words: "God takes us out of our own ideas for our lives and we are 'batter'd to shape and use'..."

March 9: The Time of Relapse

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0309.html Chambers expressed a startling truth when he penned, "Many today are spending and being spent in work fro Jesus Christ, but they do not walk with Him." May we all DETERMINE to keep Him right at our side.... to go whereever He leads us!!

March 8: The Relinquished Life

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0308.html "There will have to be the relinquishing of my claim to my right to myself in every phase." Oh, is that ALL? I can think of no harder task, but no greater reward!!

March 7: Undaunted Radiance

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0307.html Children of my heart, NEVER forget: the books and movies we most love to see are the ones that are full of adventure, and "adventure" is just a positive word for "trouble." Perhaps now you can more clearly understand the truth behind Chamber's words: "The saint never knows the joy of the Lord in spite of tribulation, but because of it..."

March 6: Amid a Crowd of Paltry Things

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0306.html As I sit staring a huge pile of clutter on my kitchen cabinets, I realize I really need to take today's lesson to heart so I can stop letting the "drudgery damp me."

March 5: Is He Really Lord?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0305.html "Joy means the perfect fulfillment of that for which I was created and regenerated...."

March 4: Could This Be True of Me?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0304.html Yes, I know that it takes the effort and preparation of a mountain climber to become totally abandoned to God, but when you reach the point where you no longer count your life dear to yourself, you will find that you no longer fear!!!

March 3: The Unrelieved Quest

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0303.html Love the unlovable. Such a difficult command, but totally necessary if we want to be like Jesus!

March 2: Have You Felt the Hurt of the Lord?

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0302.html This is life changing!!! It has happened to me at least three times. The most pronounced time was when Jennifer had meningitis and I distinctly felt Him ask me, "Did you really mean it when you gave her life to Me?" I had to decide if I loved Jesus more than my child, and the pain was intense. But instantly when I chose Jesus, there was miraculous peace.

March 1: The Undeviating Question

Today in My Utmost for His Highest: http://www.myutmost.org/03/0301.html When we read the word of God and it hurts, we should rejoice because we can feel! "Sin blunts feeling." (Be sure to look at the February 29 entry; I loved it!!) http://www.myutmost.org/02/0229.html.
