Image
When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God's purpose.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
