Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We must keep ourselves in touch, not with theories, but with people. We must never get out of touch with them if we are going to use the Word of God skillfully amongst them and if the Holy Spirit is to apply the Word of God through us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
Oswald Chambers
Image
Trust God, and do the next thing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to be seen of men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord’s teaching is always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a man His purpose is to make a man exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is self-expenditure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Drudgery is one of the finest touchstones of character there is. Drudgery is work that is very far removed from anything to do with the ideal - the utterly mean grubby things and when we come in contact with them we know instantly whether or not we are spiritually real.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
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

Never try to help God fulfill His word.
