An important theme in A.W. Tozer's ministry was the subject of God's
will for each of our lives. He wrestled with it from the time he was a
new Christian until the day he passed into eternity. Throughout 'A Cloud
by Day, A Fire by Night' - he discusses the battles Christians face
almost every day. He frames these battles as taking place in Canaan, as
he calls it - the land of promise where we are living today. Tozer could
look at something so negative and find positives from a spiritual point
of view. So much in life can bring us to that point of discouragement
where all we want to do is quit, especially when God's will for us is
unclear. This book is about more than finding God's will for your next
step or decision in life-it is about following His will to the end. With
only our human resources, following God would be impossible. But when we
cross that line into the deeper life, we enter into the grace of God
that enables us to do His will.
