Quotes

As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man."
Holiness, not happiness, is the chief end of man. Oswald Chambers
We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success; but He does not. If our Lord has ever constrained you, and you obeyed Him, what was your dream of His purpose? Never put your dream of success as God’s purpose for you; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus..."
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared to Jesus Christ. Oswald Chambers
The Bible attitude is not that God sends sickness or that sickness is of the devil, but that sickness is a fact usable by both God and the devil. Oswald Chambers
What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list, morning by morning, it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here, and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately. Oswald Chambers
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours. Oswald Chambers
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "If we were never depressed we should not be alive; it is the..."
If we were never depressed we should not be alive; it is the nature of a crystal never to be depressed. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass..."
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart. Oswald Chambers
God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude. Oswald Chambers
The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the surrounding influence and qualities produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to give our attention to, and it is the one thing that is continually under attack. Oswald Chambers
To say that 'prayer changes things' is not as close to the truth as saying, 'prayer changes me and then I change things.' God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things. Oswald Chambers
Oswald Chambers quote: "Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose..."
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time. Oswald Chambers
You cannot have a moral holiday and remain moral, nor can you have a spiritual holiday and remain spiritual. God wants you to be entirely his, and this means that you have to watch to keep yourself fit. It takes a tremendous amount of time. Some of us expect to “clear the numberless ascensions”* in about two minutes. Oswald Chambers
