Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
Oswald Chambers
Our understanding of God is the answer to prayer getting things from God is God's indulgence of us. When God stops giving us things, He brings us into the place where we can begin to understand Him.
Oswald Chambers
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers
Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald Chambers
When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
Oswald Chambers
A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.
Oswald Chambers
Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
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
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
It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
Oswald Chambers
The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.
Oswald Chambers
When once you realize all that it cost God to forgive you, you will be held as in a vice, constrained by the love of God.
Oswald Chambers
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
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
Oswald Chambers
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.
Oswald Chambers
The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
Oswald Chambers
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould
