Quote

The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Whenever God's will is in the ascendant all compulsion is gone. When we choose deliberately to obey Him then with all His almighty power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A river reaches places its source never knows.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.
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
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
Image
We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
Image
Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God will turn the might have been into a wonderful culture for the future.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
