When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.
Oswald ChambersSee that you do not use the trick of prayer to cover up what you know you ought to do.
Oswald ChambersThink of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry. We are always in such a frantic hurry. In the light of the glory of the vision we go forth to do things, but the vision is not real in us yet; and God has to take us into the valley, and put us through fires and floods to batter us into shape, until we get to the place where He can trust us.... Let Him put you on His wheel and whirl you as He likes, and as sure as God is God and you are you, you will turn out exactly in accordance with the vision. Don't lose heart in the process.
