Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God's work in our own way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.

If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, it is not worth anything.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
God's nothings are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging, therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.
Oswald Chambers
