The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.

Image
The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. It will cost everything that is not of God in us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A river reaches places its source never knows.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.
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
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?
Oswald Chambers
Image
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
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
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers
Image
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God does not give us overcoming life He gives us life as we overcome.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All Christians have the Spirit of Christ, but not all Christians have the mind of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations
Oswald Chambers
Image
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord was 30 years preparing for 3 years of service. The modern stamp is to spend 3 hours preparing for 30 years of service.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.
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
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
