Oswald Chambers | Scottish Author | 365 Christian Men

November 16. Oswald Chambers, Scottish Author. Under the preaching of Charles Spurgeon, Chambers became a Christian. He ministered in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and in Japan. For six years, he was principal of a Bible school in London, and during World War I, he served as chaplain to the military in Egypt. He had a passion for shepherding his people.
While he was still in college, Chambers shepherded four-footed, wool-bearing sheep. He said, “I did not like it at the time, but I am thankful now I had to do shepherding in the Highlands of Scotland. When you have to carry across your shoulders a dirty old [ram] and bring it down the mountainside, you will soon know whether it is not the most taxing, the most exhausting, and the most exasperating work; and Jesus uses this as an illustration of a passion for souls.”
Chambers loved his people, and they loved him.
On this date in 1917, 100 soldiers escorted Chambers’s body to the military cemetery in Cairo.

I recall John MacArthur speaking of his summers as a shepherds helper, or something along those lines-and what he learned with regards to Biblical truth. Gods providence takes on a different look in each of our lives; and very often it's only when we look back that we see God's hand at work. All things work together...[Romans 8 v28]

Great observation. I agree. So important to reflect on where we’ve been and what we’ve learned. Thank you for your comment.
