The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.
Oswald ChambersWe preach to men as if they were conscious they were dying sinners, they are not; they are having a good time.
Oswald ChambersIt is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
Oswald ChambersHave you ever sought God with your whole heart, or have you simply given Him a feeble cry after some emotionally painful experience?
Oswald ChambersWe must never put our dreams of success as God's purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. His purpose is that I depend on HIM and in HIS power NOW. His end is the process. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God....His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the 'afterwards' of obedience. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present; if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.
