More quotes by Oswald Chambers
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.
Oswald Chambers
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
Oswald Chambers
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
Oswald Chambers
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
Oswald Chambers
God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Oswald Chambers
As we go forth into the coming year, let it not be in the haste of impetuous, forgetful delight, nor with the quickness of impulsive thoughtlessness . But let us go out with the patient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us.
Oswald Chambers
Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.
Oswald Chambers
God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.
Oswald Chambers
But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
Oswald Chambers
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have, Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship.
Oswald Chambers
Adam was created to be the friend and companion of God, he was to have dominion over all the life in the air and earth and sea, but one thing he was not to have dominion over, and that was himself.
Oswald Chambers
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
The battle of prayer is against two things in the earthlies: wandering thoughts and lack of intimacy with God's character as revealed in His word. Neither can be cured at once, but they can be cured by discipline.
Oswald Chambers
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Oswald Chambers
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
Oswald Chambers
We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.
Oswald Chambers
We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.
Oswald Chambers
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.'
Oswald Chambers
