Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Image
We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.

Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
