Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.

Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.
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
Image
God’s training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. we have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience we can get it wrong when we think of the afterwards. what men call training and preparation, God calls the end… if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment is precious.

Oswald Chambers
Image
The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.
Oswald Chambers

Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
