Quote

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.

Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.
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
To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
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.
