More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Our Lord’s teaching is always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a man His purpose is to make a man exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is self-expenditure.
Oswald Chambers
God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
Oswald Chambers
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
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
When you fear God you fear nothing else!
Oswald Chambers
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
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
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
The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, and I shall never think of anything He will forget. With this knowledge, worry becomes an impossibility.
Oswald Chambers
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
Oswald Chambers
No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.
Oswald Chambers
Our understanding of God is the answer to prayer getting things from God is God's indulgence of us. When God stops giving us things, He brings us into the place where we can begin to understand Him.
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
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
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
God wants to use us as He used His own Son
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
Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
