Oswald’s Insight

Just a quick post with a quote from Oswald Chambers that I found in one of my notebooks:

By prayer and determination we have to form the habit of keeping ourselves soaked in the vision God has given. The difficulty with the majority of us is that we will not seek to apprehend the vision – we get glimpses of it, and then leave it alone.

It is one of the saddest things to see men and women who have had visions of Truth, but have failed to apprehend them. It is not a question of intellectual discernment or of knowing how to present the vision to others, but of seeking to apprehend the vision so that it may apprehend us.

Soak, and soak, and soak continually in the one great Truth of which you have had a vision. Take it to bed with you. Sleep with it. Rise up in the morning with it. Continually bring your imagination into captivity to it, and slowly and surely as the months and years go by, God will make you one of his specialists in that particular Truth.
