Oswald Chambers Quotes


"God does not give us overcoming life-He gives us life as we overcome." ~Oswald Chambers

"God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede." ~Oswald Chambers

"Has God trusted you with a silence-a silence that is big with meaning? Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany! Is there anything analogous to those days in your life? His silence is the sign that He is bringing you into a marvellous understanding of Himself...If God has given you a silence, praise Him, He is bringing you into the great run of His purpose." ~Oswald Chambers

"Many of us do not continue to grow spiritually because we prefer to choose on the basis of our rights, instead of relying on God to make the choice for us." ~Oswald Chambers

"No one is born either naturally or supernaturally with character; it must be developed." ~Oswald Chambers

"Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means for getting something for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself." ~Oswald Chambers

"Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work." ~Oswald Chambers

"The golden rule to follow to obtain spiritual understanding is not one of intellectual pursuit, but one of obedience." ~Oswald Chambers

"The spirit of God uncovers our Spirit of self-vindication and makes us sensitive to things that we have never thought of before." ~Oswald Chambers

"The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength." ~Oswald Chambers

"There are certain things in life that we need not pray about-moods, for instance. We will never get rid of moodiness by praying, but by kicking it out of our lives." ~Oswald Chambers

"There will come one day a personal and direct touch from God when every tear and perplexity, every oppression and distress, every suffering and pain, and wrong and injustice will have a complete and ample and overwhelming explanation. Today, as we face life's unanswered questions, we can find help and hope in God's love and promises." ~Oswald Chambers

"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties." ~Oswald Chambers

"We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer." ~Oswald Chambers

"When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship, or a new friendship, then He begins to teach us." ~Oswald Chambers
