The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.

What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list, morning by morning, it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here, and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.

Oswald Chambers
Image
We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my life?
Oswald Chambers
Image
The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
