It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.
Oswald Chambers
Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers
When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
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
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
Oswald Chambers
It must be God first, God second, and God third
Oswald Chambers
Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God.
Oswald Chambers
The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.
Oswald Chambers
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
The man who prays ceases to be a fool
Oswald Chambers
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.
Oswald Chambers
The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
Oswald Chambers
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
Oswald Chambers
Intercession is about putting ourselves in other’s shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
Oswald Chambers
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
Our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants.
Oswald Chambers
Our Lord’s teaching is always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a man His purpose is to make a man exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is self-expenditure.
Oswald Chambers
It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Service is the overflow which pours from a life filled with love and devotion.
Oswald Chambers
