Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Angels cannot preach the gospel, only beings such as Paul and you and I can preach the gospel.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us suffer from temptations from which we have no business to suffer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
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
God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Worship and intercession must go together, the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.
