Image
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Oswald Chambers
Image
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are here for God's designs, not for our own
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
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging, therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.

God wants to use us as He used His own Son
