Is
your imagination stayed on God or is it starved? The starvation of the
imagination is one of the most fruitful sources of exhaustion and sapping in a
worker’s life. If you have never used your imagination to put yourself before
God, begin to do it now. It is no use waiting for God to come; you must put
your imagination away from the face of idols and look unto Him and be saved.
Imagination is the greatest gift God has given us and it ought to be devoted
entirely to Him. If you have been bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ, it will be one of the greatest assets to faith when the
time of trial comes, because your faith and the Spirit of God will work
together. Learn to associate ideas worthy of God with all that happens in Nature
– the sunrises and the sunsets, the sun and the stars, the changing seasons,
and your imagination will never be at the mercy of your impulses, but will
always be at the service of God. – Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest,
