The Missionary’s Predestined Purpose, Oswald Chambers, My Uttermost for His Highest
Now
the Lord says, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant . . . —Isaiah 49:5
The
first thing that happens after we recognize our election by God in Christ Jesus
is the destruction of our preconceived ideas, our narrow-minded thinking, and
all of our other allegiances— we are turned solely into servants of God’s own
purpose. The entire human race was created to glorify God and to enjoy Him
forever. Sin has diverted the human race onto another course, but it has not
altered God’s purpose to the slightest degree. And when we are born again we
are brought into the realization of God’s great purpose for the human race,
namely, that He created us for Himself. This realization of our election by God
is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous
creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do is force the interests of
the whole world through the channel of our hearts. The love of God, and even
His very nature, is introduced into us. And we see the nature of Almighty God

'A result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect': The Queen responds to Scottish referendum decision, Daily Mail
Queen Elizabeth released a statement from
Balmoral on Scottish referendum
Her Majesty said the entire United Kingdom
would respect yesterday's vote
She accepted there were 'strong feelings and
emotions' regarding decision
She called on everyone to work constructively
for Scotland's future in UK
Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness called for a
Northern Ireland border poll
HER
MAJESTY'S STATEMENT IN FULL
After many months of discussion,
debate, and careful thought, we now know the outcome of the Referendum, and it
is a result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect.
For many in Scotland and elsewhere
today, there will be strong feelings and contrasting emotions – among family,
friends and neighbours.
That, of course, is the nature of the
robust democratic tradition we enjoy in this country. But I have no doubt that
these emotions will be tempered by an understanding of the feelings of others.
Now, as we move forward, we should
remember that despite the range of views that have been expressed, we have in
common an enduring love of Scotland, which is one of the things that helps to
unite us all.
Knowing the people of Scotland as I do,
I have no doubt that Scots, like others throughout the United Kingdom, are able
to express strongly-held opinions before coming together again in a spirit of
mutual respect and support, to work constructively for the future of Scotland
and indeed all parts of this country.
My family and I will do all we can to
help and support you in this important task.
ELIZABETH R.
