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.

Total turnout was 84.5% topping 90% in
pro-Union areas but dipping to the mid-70s in key Yes working-class
areas

Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire, but fell short by 384,935 votes

Alex Salmond this afternoon dramatically quit as Scotland's First Minister after voters rejected independence.
The First Minister said he would stand
down in November to let the next generation take over the fight to lead
Scotland out of the Union.
Mr Salmond announced his departure at a
press conference this afternoon. He said 'party, Parliament and country' would
benefit from 'new leadership'.
But he fired a warning shot at David
Cameron not to go back on his promise to transfer sweeping new powers to
Holyrood within six months.
This afternoon's announcement came
after he was forced to accept that a majority of Scots had decided 'at this
stage' not to become an independent country. The 'No' campaign secured 55 per
cent of the vote to the nationalists' 45 per cent.
Comment:
Mr Salmond has done the honourable
thing and has resigned after the shock defeat of the Yes camp in the Scottish
Independence Referendum, it would be
interesting to see who replaces him, the
most obvious candidate is Nicola Sturgeon.
Scotland has decided to remain part of the United Kingdom, it’s time for
Scotland to decide who forms the next Scottish Government, The Scottish
National Party needs in the next few months, to step down and call a general election
in Scotland, I believe that the SNP no
longer have the mandate or the support of the Scottish electorate and they
should do the honourable thing and let the Scottish people decide what
political party lead their government,
after the success of the Better Together, there are 3 men from the same political party
who I believe should make a better First Minister, Alistair Darling, Douglas Alexander and Gordon Brown. I would like
to make an appeal to Mr Brown, Scotland
needs you Gordon.
