More quotes by 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
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. It will cost everything that is not of God in us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we see Him, we will wonder that we ever could have disobeyed Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one in that of the curious, a scarce one in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.
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
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.
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
Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?
Oswald Chambers
Image
The man who prays ceases to be a fool
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.
