When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.

Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers

God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
Oswald Chambers
Image
The historic idea that the devil tempts men had this remarkable effect, it produced the man of iron who fought the modern idea of blaming his heredity or his circumstances produces the man who gives in at once.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
