[Jesus:] We must work the works of him who sent me while
it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
-- John 9:4 (ESV)

Quotation:
All God?s revelations are sealed to us until they are
opened to us by obedience. You will never get them open by
philosophy or thinking. Immediately you obey, a flash of light
comes. Let God?s truth work in you by soaking in it, not by
worrying into it. Obey God in the thing He is at present
showing you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. We
read tomes on the work of the Holy Spirit when... five minutes
of drastic obedience would make things clear as a sunbeam. We
say, "I suppose I shall understand these things some day." You
can understand them now: it is not study that does it, but
obedience. The tiniest fragment of obedience, and heaven opens
up and the profoundest truths of God are yours straight away.
God will never reveal more truth about Himself till you obey
what you know already. Beware of being wise and prudent.
... Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
