More quotes by Oswald Chambers
We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.
Oswald Chambers
The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
Oswald Chambers
The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.
Oswald Chambers
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Oswald Chambers
We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.
Oswald Chambers
By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.
Oswald Chambers
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
Oswald Chambers
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.
Oswald Chambers
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould
Oswald Chambers
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers
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.
Oswald Chambers
Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Worshipping God is the great essential of fitness. If you have not been worshipping...when you get to work you will not only be useless yourself, but a tremendous hindrance to those who are associated with you.
Oswald Chambers
No matter what changes God has performed in you, never rely on them. Build only on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.
Oswald Chambers
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
Oswald Chambers
Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'
Oswald Chambers
