In the book, We Travel an Appointed Way' we have another exciting
compilation of editorials from A.W. Tozer when he was the editor of Alliance Life
the official magazine of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Tozer readers will
find spiritual nourishment in these eloquent distillations of Reformation faith!
Knowing God deeply and intimately brings purpose and meaning to life and should
be the Christian's highest goal.
So what holds us back from authentic spiritual
success? To the child of God, there is no such thing as accident. We travel an appointed
way says Tozer. The path he tread was chosen for him when as yet he was not, when
as yet he had existence only in the mind of God. Our way is ordered by the secret
script of God's hidden providence, and true faith displaces any possibility for
chance or misfortune.
Tozer tells us that we are full of life filled with
providences and plans laid out from above. Tozer also lets it be known that we are
not to be found as one who thinks we are one of God's pawns for that is the attitude
of the unbeliever whereas the true follower of Christ will know that he is one of
God's beloved! The difference is humility. Here we have 39 chapters of providence
and the truth of the hidden God behind the Word of God who possesses faith. That
is true belief!
