Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me; sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.

We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.

The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.
