More quotes by Oswald Chambers
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Oswald Chambers
When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
Oswald Chambers
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
Humble yourself--it is a humbling experience to knock at God's door--you have to knock with the crucified thief. To him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Oswald Chambers
All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
Oswald Chambers
We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald Chambers
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
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
Faith that is sure of itself is not faith faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.
Oswald Chambers
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Oswald Chambers
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.
Oswald Chambers
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
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
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
Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.
Oswald Chambers
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
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
Oswald Chambers
