Joy is the great note all through the Bible. We have the notion of joy that arises from good spirits or good health, but the miracle of joy of God has nothing to do with a man's life or his circumstances or the condition he is in. Jesus Christ does not come to a man and say, 'Cheer up.' He plants within a man the miracle of the joy of God's own nature.
Oswald ChambersNever consider whether you are of use; but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald ChambersThe greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
Oswald ChambersTo identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
Oswald ChambersCertainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.
