More quotes by Oswald Chambers
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.
Oswald Chambers
There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!
Oswald Chambers
Anything that belittles or obliterates the holiness of God by a false view of the love of God, is untrue to the revelation of God given by Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
We are here for God's designs, not for our own
Oswald Chambers
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Oswald Chambers
Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is.
Oswald Chambers
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 will turn the might have been into a wonderful culture for the future.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.
Oswald Chambers
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.
Oswald Chambers
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.
Oswald Chambers
Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.
Oswald Chambers
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
Oswald Chambers
Happiness depends on what happens joy does not.
Oswald Chambers
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
Oswald Chambers
We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Trust God, and do the next thing.
