Image
Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers

Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are here for God's designs, not for our own
Oswald Chambers
Image
God will turn the might have been into a wonderful culture for the future.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A man ceases to be an honest doubter the moment he refuses one way of getting at the truth because he does not like that way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment , and tribulation for only one reason--these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much.
