The people who influence us are those who have stood unconsciously for the right thing. They are like the stars and the lilies, and the joy of God flows through them all the time.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.
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
The agony of a man's affliction is often necessary to put him into the right mood to face the fundamental things of life. The Psalmist says: Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now have I kept Thy Word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sanctification costs to the extent of an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.

Begin to know Him now, and finish never

There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
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
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
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
