We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
Oswald ChambersWe can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the culture of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail.
Oswald ChambersMany people begin coming to God once they stop being religious.There's only one master of the heart-Jesus, not religion.
Oswald ChambersConfidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.
Oswald ChambersSpiritual character is only made by standing loyal to God's character, no matter what distress the trial of faith brings. The distress and agony the prophets experienced was the agony of believing God when everything that was happening contradicted what they proclaimed Him to be; there was nothing to prove that God was just and true, but everything to prove the opposite.
Oswald ChambersThe test of a manโs religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
