Come to these threads as you are; leave with what you have discovered.

Absolutely no flaming! These daily threads are intended to be devotional in nature. If a particular day's offering says nothing to you, please just go on and wait for the next day. Consider these threads a DMZ of sorts, a place where a perpetual truce is in effect and a place where all other arguments and disagreements from other times and places are left behind.

I can attest from personal experience that reading from Chambers daily will almost certainly change - not one's faith - but one's perspective of his/her own faith, and open up new vistas in your spiritual life. If - when - this happens to a reader of these threads, and they choose to share what has happened within them - we are treading on hallowed ground. Be respectful.

I'm delighted to see this devotional thread. About a year ago a friend gave me "My Utmost For His Highest", prior to leaving for a three week vacation. I find it immensely compelling. Often giving shades of insight in ways not seen before. It presents known scriptures and connects to other known scriptures, opening up the meaning by letting in the light. To me it has represented a more mature growth of the Word. It is a deeper more surrundered life to God's will and our oneness with Him.

I have given it to several people. When we read commentaries of the Bible, and new wording ... i.e. NIV, there seems to be a big difference in what is said as compared to the KJV. We all must be discerning.

... which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel, seems apt here. Matt 23:24
