pause ‘n ponder

AW Tozer – who was he?

Aiden Wilson Tozer (April 21, 1897 - May 12, 1963) was an American Christian pastor, preacher,

author, magazine editor, Bible conference speaker, and spiritual mentor.

From his writings, I found these thought provoking statements:

The choices that we make from day to day involve only four kinds of things:

• Those concerning which God has said an emphatic "no."
• Those about which He has said an equally emphatic "yes."
• Those concerning which He wants us to consult our own sanctified preferences.
• Those few matters which require special guidance from the Lord to prevent us from making serious mistakes.

And this quote speaks volumes:

If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
