The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
The love of God is not created- it is His nature.
Oswald Chambers
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers
When we see Him, we will wonder that we ever could have disobeyed Him.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is simple, as simple as a child making known its wants to it parents.
Oswald Chambers
The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.
Oswald Chambers
If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.
Oswald Chambers
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
Oswald Chambers
Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers
The historic idea that the devil tempts men had this remarkable effect, it produced the man of iron who fought the modern idea of blaming his heredity or his circumstances produces the man who gives in at once.
Oswald Chambers
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.
Oswald Chambers
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
Oswald Chambers
The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.
Oswald Chambers
God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Whenever God's will is in the ascendant all compulsion is gone. When we choose deliberately to obey Him then with all His almighty power.
Oswald Chambers
If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.
Oswald Chambers
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Oswald Chambers
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.
Oswald Chambers
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
Oswald Chambers
