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.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon
Oswald Chambers
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
Oswald Chambers
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Oswald Chambers
We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.
Oswald Chambers
Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.
Oswald Chambers
Human nature, if healthy, demands excitement and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics He makes no passionless saints.
Oswald Chambers
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.
Oswald Chambers
The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment , and tribulation for only one reason--these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
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
Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.
Oswald Chambers
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
Oswald Chambers
There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
Oswald Chambers
People say that it is so hard to bring Jesus Christ and present him before the lives of men today. Of course it is. It is so hard that it is impossible except by the power of the indwelling Holy Ghost.
Oswald Chambers
Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
Oswald Chambers
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
