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 nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ founded His Kingdom on the weakest link of all-a Baby.
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

The path of peace for us is to hand ourselves over to God and ask Him to search us, not what we think we are, or what other people think we are, or what we persuade ourselves we are or would like to be, but 'Search me out, O God, explore me as I really am in Thy sight.'

Oswald Chambers
Image
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are here for God's designs, not for our own

The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers

Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
