Quotes

Yet Jesus never measured His life by how or where He was of the greatest use. God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting..."
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God. Oswald Chambers
Emotion is not simply an overplus of feeling; it is life lived at white-heat, a state of wonder. To lose wonder is to lose the true element of religion. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos..."
God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now. Oswald Chambers
Suppose God wants to teach you to say, "I know how to be abased"--are you ready to be offered up like that? Are you ready to be not so much as a drop in a bucket--to be so hopelessly insignificant that you are never thought of again in connection with the life you served? Are you willing to spend and be spent; not seeking to be ministered unto, but to minister? Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we..."
God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree..."
The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience. Oswald Chambers
When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship - when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but..."
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. Oswald Chambers
God never estimates what we give from impulse. We are given credit for what we determine in our hearts to give; for the giving that is governed by a fixed determination. The Spirit of God revolutionises our philanthropic instincts. Much of our philanthropy is simply the impulse to save ourselves an uncomfortable feeling. The Spirit of God alters all that. As saints our attitude towards giving is that we give for Jesus Christ’s sake, and from no other motive. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "Get into the habit of saying, ‘Speak, Lord,’ and life will..."
Get into the habit of saying, ‘Speak, Lord,’ and life will become a romance. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in..."
We always know when Jesus is at work because He produces in the commonplace something that is inspiring. Oswald Chambers
We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them. Oswald Chambers
your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit. Oswald Chambers
True intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. People describe intercession by saying, "It is putting yourself in someone else’s place." That is not true! Intercession is putting yourself in God’s place; it is having His mind and His perspective. Oswald Chambers
