Clouds And Darkness

Oswald Chambers 54

If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of al the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in His presence.

The only possibility of understanding the teaching of Jesus is by the light of the Spirit of God on the inside.

Clouds And Darkness | Daily Devotional by Oswald Chambers

"Clouds and darkness are round about Him." Psalm 97:2

A man who has not been born of the Spirit of God Wil tel you that the teachings of Jesus are simple. But when you are baptized with the Holy Ghost, you find "clouds and darkness are round about Him."

When we come into close contact with the teachings of Jesus Christ we have our first insight into this aspect of things. The only possibility of understanding the teaching of Jesus is by the light of the Spirit of God on the inside.

If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of al the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in His presence.


The people who are flippant and familiar are those who have never yet been introduced to Jesus Christ. After the amazing delight and liberty of realizing what Jesus Christ does, comes the impenetrable darkness of realizing Who He is.

Jesus said: "The words that I speak unto you," not the words I have spoken, "they are spirit, and they are life."

The Bible has been so many words to us - clouds and darkness - then al of a sudden the words become spirit and life because Jesus re-speaks them to us in a particular condition.

That is the way God speaks to us, not by visions and dreams, but by words. When a man gets to God it is by the most simple way of words.

To Worship is to Copy

J. Stephen Lang
Thomas had the duty of instructing novices in the spiritual life, and Imitation was probably a collection of books he wrote for that purpose. We know little else about the man. That is as it should be, because the book is more important than the author.
Visions don’t come to life in daydreams but in sweatshops.

Daydreams and Sweatshops

Steven Furtick
God is the Creator, not because He imagined or envisioned creation, but because He acted and brought it into existence. He expressed intense satisfaction in doing the work and seeing the final product. Why should it be any different for the creatures who were made in His image?
Joseph represents a more mature Christian. He could walk in the dark.

Triumphs of Faith

D.L. Moody
How are we to get the victory over all our enemies? Joseph represents a more mature Christian. He could walk in the dark. He survived thirteen years of misfortune, in spite of his dreams, and then credited it all to the goodness and providence of God.
Wherever you are right now, look around—everything you see is a gift from God.

The Source of Everything

David Jeremiah
When David prayed a prayer of thanksgiving for the resources given by all the people, he made it plain that whatever they had given came first from God. It’s so easy for us to forget the origin of everything we own.
Let go of your old way of thinking and take hold of the new thing God has for you!

Develop a Vision of Victory

Joel Osteen
Do you have a vision of victory for your life? Do you perceive victory in your every step? Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? Today’s verse doesn’t say that God is going to do a new thing some day.
