“While the purpose of My Utmost for His Highest is to give you spiritual energy to be your best for God. These three components were finished in December, 2008, and became a useful tool for both of us in our reading of Utmost.” “The bite-sized sentences became the summaries t found at the top of each page in A Daily Companion, while the questions and prayer-seeds became the Companion’s application questions and the “finish this prayer” sections. When he and Cecilie contracted to write the guide in 2012, his personal work became the basis for the project. From there, I wrote the beginning “seeds” of a prayer to point my heart in the right direction as I talked to God about that day’s reading.” Personal work I also wrote down a few questions that would challenge me to apply the main points. “To get a better handle on the main points from each day, I summed up each day’s reading in a bite-sized sentence or two. “It it was hard for me to take in the meaning of each reading, particularly when I was still trying to process the reading from the day before.
Jed and Cecilie have read My Utmost for His Highest “off and on since 1992.” In 2008, Jed tried to read it daily for an entire year. We also discussed their experience researching Oswald and Biddys Chambers to write the book ( next post, Part II). I interviewed Jed Macosko about A Daily Companion (today’s post, Part I). Cecilie Macosko, A Daily Companion to My Utmost for His Highest is the result of years of reading and studying Oswald Chamber’s devotional first published in 1927. To allay that issue, Discovery House published a contemporary guide in fall 2014. My Utmost for His Highest has long been a challenge for some readers to understand.
