If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.

Oswald Chambers

Never say you will pray about a thing pray about it.
Oswald Chambers

Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.
Oswald Chambers

We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.

Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.

The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.

Obey God in the things he shows you, and instantly the next thing is opened up. God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already...this chapter brings out the delight of real friendship with God.
