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.

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Love for the Lord is not an ethereal, intellectual, dreamlike thing it is the intensest, most vital, most passionate love of which the human heart is capable.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
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

Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.
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

All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.
Oswald Chambers

The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.

Our true character comes out in the way we pray.
