One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.

Remember Whose you are and Whom you serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
Oswald Chambers

God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We do not pray at all until we are at our wits' end.

Intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them.
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.

The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.
Oswald Chambers

So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
