Oswald Chambers
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed...

Oswald Chambers
The real attitude of sin in the heart towards God is that of being without God; it is pride, the worship of myself, that is the great atheistic fact in human life.

Oswald Chambers
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.

Oswald Chambers
It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.

Oswald Chambers
Beware 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.

Oswald Chambers
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him.... When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance.... Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world.
