Image
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The man who prays ceases to be a fool
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us suffer from temptations from which we have no business to suffer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.
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
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Begin to know Him now, and finish never
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
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself? 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, and He has to get me into the attitude of mind and spirit where at any cost I will let Him sanctify me wholly.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
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
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.
