Quote

Humble yourself--it is a humbling experience to knock at God's door--you have to knock with the crucified thief. To him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

Image
Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We pray when there's nothing else we can do Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald Chambers
Image
Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
Oswald Chambers
Image
By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
