Quote

We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.

It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
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
All that Our Lord heeds in a man's life is the relationship of worth to His Father.
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
To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers

The greatest word of Jesus to His disciples is abandon
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We look for visions of heaven and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The love of God is not created- it is His nature.
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
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
Image
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
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
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
God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us suffer from temptations from which we have no business to suffer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.

Jesus Christ founded His Kingdom on the weakest link of all-a Baby.
