The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The path of peace for us is to hand ourselves over to God and ask Him to search us, not what we think we are, or what other people think we are, or what we persuade ourselves we are or would like to be, but 'Search me out, O God, explore me as I really am in Thy sight.'

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
Oswald Chambers

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.

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

Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
