Do not calculate without God

      "God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the things we have calculated on without taking Him into account. We get into circumstances which were not chosen by God, and suddenly we find we have been calculating without God; He has not entered in as a living factor.  The one thing that keeps us from the possibility of worrying is bringing God in as the greatest factor in all our calculations.
     In our religion it is customary to put God first, but we are apt to think it is an impertinence to put Him first in the practical issues of our lives. If we imagine we have to put on our Sunday moods before we come near to God, we will never come near to Him. We must come as we are."   Oswald Chambers

Psalm 37: 5
