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.

Image
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.

Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.
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
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
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
No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit
Oswald Chambers
Image
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
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 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
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
Image
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
Oswald Chambers

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
