“Abraham, at this point, has reached the place where he is in touch with the very nature of God. He now understands the reality of God.

My goal is God himself . . .

At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

It is through the discipline of obedience that I get to the place where Abraham was and I see who God is. God will never be real to me until I come face to face with Him in Jesus Christ. Then I will know and can boldly proclaim, ‘In all the world, my God, there is none but Thee, there is none but Thee'” (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest).

That’s my goal. At least that’s what I want my goal to be. Anything else is trivial and vain in comparison. And I think a lot of the last few months have been God’s way of getting me to that point. I have seen God as a constant in a world of continual change and turmoil where nothing seems to stay the same from one day to the next.

“Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Just give me Jesus”
