I am one of those people that love daily devotions but have problems doing them daily. I just struggle in general with daily habits. But My Utmost for His Highest is by far the best devotional I have ever used. Oswald Chamber’s wife compiled the book of devotions after Chamber’s death from a collection of his writing. Maybe that’s what I like. His writings were developed for a variety of audiences from laypeople to theologians to seminary students.
He’s not one to mix words. He tells it like is is and I love that. Other than my Bible, my copy of My Utmost for Hish Highest is my most highlighted, scribbled in and underlined of any book I own. Before I began my quote of the week, I used to put “Quotes from Ossie” on my blog. He shared enough wisdom to last a long, long time.
Try it for your devotion in 2011 but be careful which edition you buy. I have the origional old english sounding version but there is a newer version with updated language. Both rock.
