Proper Perspective – from Oswald Chambers

I have read Oswald Chambers book, My Utmost for his Highest, a number of times over the years.  The reason?  Entries like this:

“The proper perspective to maintain is that we are here for only one purpose— to be captives marching in the procession of Christ’s triumphs. We are not on display in God’s showcase— we are here to exhibit only one thing— the ‘captivity [of our lives] to the obedience of Christ’ (2 Corinthians 10:5). How small all the other perspectives are! …’We are to God the fragrance of Christ . . .’ (2 Corinthians 2:15). We are encompassed with the sweet aroma of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.”
