Oswald Chambers

A time is coming when the whole round world will know that God reigns and that God is Love, when hell and heaven, life and death, sin and salvation, will be read and understood aright at last.

Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.

Am I as spontaneously kind to God as I used to be, or am I only expecting God to be kind to me? Am I full of the little things that cheer His heart over me, or am I whimpering because things are going hardly with me? There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

It is a solemn thing, and no small scandal in the Kingdom, to see God's children starving while actually seated at the Father's table.

There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.

Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I__e lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit__ vision, Gazing on the Crucified.

Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.

What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.

The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.

The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.

A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord.

Jesus doesn't bring anything up from the wells of human nature--He brings them down from above.

The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.

There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed. Our Brilliant Heritage, 946 R

Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.

The "show business," which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from Our Lord's conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
