Temptation is a suggested short cut to the realization of the highest at which I aim - not towards what I understand as evil, but towards what I understand as good.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you pray, things remain the same, but you begin to be different. The same thing when a man falls in love, his circumstances and conditions remain the same, but he has a sovereign preference in his heart for another person which transfigures everything!
Oswald Chambers

It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers

Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God.
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

God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.

Image
At His Ascension our Lord entered Heaven, and He keeps the door open for humanity to enter.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God’s training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. we have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience we can get it wrong when we think of the afterwards. what men call training and preparation, God calls the end… if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment is precious.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.

God never fits His word to suit me He fits me to suit His word.
