Quote

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.

Spend plenty of time with God let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Human nature, if healthy, demands excitement and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics He makes no passionless saints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him & He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.

We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.

There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.

We are here for God's designs, not for our own
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
Image
When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If I am going to know who Jesus is, I must obey Him. The majority of us don't know Jesus because we have not the remotest intention of obeying Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When it is a question of God's almighty Spirit, never say, 'I can't.'
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
