Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald ChambersThe call of God is not a reflection of my nature; my personal desires and temperament are of no consideration. As long as I dwell on my own qualities and traits and think about what I am suited for, I will never hear the call of God.
Oswald ChambersThe spirit of God has the habit of taking the words of Jesus out of their scriptural setting and putting them into the setting of our personal lives.
Oswald ChambersGod's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Oswald ChambersBeware of being obsessed with consistency to your own convictions instead of being devoted to God. The important consistency in a saint is not to a principle but to the divine life. It is easier to be an excessive fanatic than it is to be consistently faithful, because God causes an amazing humbling of our religious conceit when we are faithful to Him.
