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.

Our Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to be seen of men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Humble yourself--it is a humbling experience to knock at God's door--you have to knock with the crucified thief. To him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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

Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The historic idea that the devil tempts men had this remarkable effect, it produced the man of iron who fought the modern idea of blaming his heredity or his circumstances produces the man who gives in at once.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
