Happiness depends on what happens joy does not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
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
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we no longer seek God for His blessings, we have time to seek Him for Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
If a crisis has come to you on any front, surrender your will to Jesus absolutely and irrevocably.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The emphasis to-day is being put on the fact that we have to save men we have not. We have to exalt the Saviour Who saves men, and then make disciples in His Name.
