One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never run away with the idea that it doesn't matter much what we believe or think it does. What we believe and think, we are not what we say we believe and think, but what we really do believe and think, we are there is no divorce at all.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus.
