Image
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
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God.
Oswald Chambers

One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.

Oswald Chambers
Image
The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The agony of a man's affliction is often necessary to put him into the right mood to face the fundamental things of life. The Psalmist says: Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
in the will of God is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart... It's motto is -- My Father can do what he likes with me, He may bless me to death, or give me a bitter cup I delight to do His will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.
