If we are in Christ the whole basis of our goings is God, not conceptions of God, not ideas of God, but God Himself. We do not need any more ideas about God, the world is full of ideas about God, they are all worthless, because the ideas of God in anyoneโs head are of no more use than our own ideas. What we need is a real God, not more ideas about Him.
Oswald ChambersSome prayers are followed by silence because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than we can understand.
Oswald ChambersOur yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald ChambersYou can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth; but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald ChambersGod is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Oswald ChambersFaith, as the Bible teaches it, is faith in God coming against everything that contradicts Him- a faith that says, โI will remain true to Godโs character whatever He may do.โ The highest and the greatest expression of faith in the whole Bible is- โThough He slay me, yet will I trust Himโ (Job 13:15).
