Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The lasting value of our public service for God is measured by the depth of the intimacy of our private times of fellowship and oneness with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.

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.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong it may be a sign that he is thinking.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Worship and intercession must go together, the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Speak, Lord” make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
Oswald Chambers
