Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us- and we cannot measure that at all
Oswald ChambersSpend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
Oswald ChambersWe are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.
Oswald ChambersPrayer is often a temptation to bank on a miracle of God instead of on a moral issue, i.e., it is much easier to ask God to do my work than it is to do it myself. Until we are disciplined properly, we will always be inclined to bank on God's miracles and refuse to do the moral thing ourselves. It is our job, and it will never be done unless we do it.
