No love of the natural heart is safe unless the human heart has been satisfied by God FIRST
Oswald ChambersAll of God’s people are ordinary people who have been made extraordinary by the purpose He has given them.
Oswald ChambersWe have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
Oswald ChambersFaith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.
Oswald ChambersThe Bible talks plentifully about joy, but it nowhere talks about a 'happy Christian.' Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not. Remember, Jesus Christ had joy, and He prayed 'that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.'
Oswald ChambersGet into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day; but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
