If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.
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
See that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
Oswald Chambers

The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.
Oswald Chambers

Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.

If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.

Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.
