We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.
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
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.

We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.
Oswald Chambers
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
The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord was 30 years preparing for 3 years of service. The modern stamp is to spend 3 hours preparing for 30 years of service.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Am I always in contact with Reality, or do I only pray when things have gone wrong, when there is a disturbance in the moments of my life?
Oswald Chambers
Image
A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
