It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sanctification costs to the extent of an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ founded His Kingdom on the weakest link of all-a Baby.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Wait on God and He will work, but don't wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's nothings are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.

Never try to help God fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Happiness depends on what happens joy does not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never consider whether you are of use but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.
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
Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
