If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time or great personal growth ahead.
Oswald ChambersThe call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God. He welcomed heartbreak, disillusionment , and tribulation for only one reason--these things kept him unmovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald ChambersIt is much easier to do something than to trust in God; we mistake panic for inspiration.
Oswald ChambersGod did not direct His call to Isaiahโ Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear Godโs call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
