Tozer Tuesday


Oops.

It is Wednesday. There goes my clever title.

Oh, well.

I am reading some A.W. Tozer this morning and am not feeling very clever in light of his wisdom. But I am spending these moments basking in truth and am grateful for the way we can clearly see God in his writings.


As my bible study ladies and I have studied God's attributes this weekend, I am finding that I am more thankful than ever for his immutability.

He will not change his mind on a whim.

He will stand firm like the mountain. Ha! Even a mountain will not stand as steadfastly as God, as we well know from recent events around the world.

I can trust him with everything.

Forever.


Do you have some favorite Tozer quotes? What is your favorite Tozer book?


God Will Not Compromise

God never changes moods or cools off in His affections or loses enthusiasm. His attitude toward sin is now the same as it was when He drove out the sinful man from the eastward garden, and His attitude toward the sinner the same as when He stretched forth His hands and cried, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
God will not compromise and He need not be coaxed. He cannot be persuaded to alter His Word nor talked into answering selfish prayer. In all our efforts to find God, to please Him, to commune with Him, we should remember that all change must be on our part. "I am the Lord, I change not."
We have but to meet His clearly stated terms, bring our lives into accord with His revealed will, and His infinite power will become instantly operative toward us in the manner set forth through the gospel in the Scriptures of truth.

I love Tozer too. He is one of those dead authors I must go to often. My all time favorite is The Knowledge of the Holy and a close second is his Pursuit of God.

Hey, I've noticed that there is an Attributes of God book series by Tozer. Is that what you are studying? How is it different from The Knowledge of the Holy?
