THE CALL OF GOD
It presents us with sealed orders, and urges us to a vast venture •••• God’s call is a command that asks us.
This means there is always a possibility of refusal on our part •••• Naturally, man is made to have dominion, therefore he insists on explanations, because everything we can explain we can command. In the spiritual domain nothing is explained until we obey, and then it is not so much an explanation as an instant discernment. If any man will do ••• he shall know ••• If we say ‘I want to know why I should do this,’ it means we have not faith in God, but only sordid confidence in our own wits.                                        —Oswald Chambers
