Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Every element of our own self–reliance must be put to death by the power of God. The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it (the thorn in the flesh) away from me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
God engineers circumstances to prove us. Will we be the children of our Father in heaven, or will we go back again to the lower, common–sense attitude? Will we stake all and stand true to Him? “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” The crown of life means I shall see that my Lord has got the victory after all, even in me.
from The Highest Good—The Pilgrim’s Song Book, 530 L
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
To read the Bible according to God’s providential order in your circumstances is the only way to read it, viz., in the blood and passion of personal life.
from Disciples Indeed, 387 R
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him.
from Approved Unto God, 10 R
27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27)
If we don’t have peace from within, world peace doesn’t matter to us much. Many seek distractions to relieve inner turmoil due to all sorts of anxieties from within. But nobody can escape themselves. No matter what we do or our circumstances, the only true peace we can have is the peace Jesus promises His people of a believing heart.

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.

WISDOM OF JAMES SMITH
If you are a sincere believer in Jesus, whatever may be your present difficult circumstances, however trying, however perplexing:
"It will all end in mercy!"
You may not think so now.
You may be writing bitter things against yourself.
You may be misinterpreting the designs of God's providence.
You may be doubting the precious promises of God's holy Word.
But notwithstanding your mistakes, your doubts, your fears, your false conclusions--
"It will all end in mercy!"
James Smith - 1856
"Her Firstborn Son"
You explained it so well here, Pedro. I was explaining much of what you said here to a neighbor of mine recently. She is an older person who always believed in God and read her bible. Still, for life’s reasons, she never had any discipling or bible instructions. So living next door to me now, she reads and prays daily. And she is asking some deep questions, keeping me sharp so that I don’t grow dull in these things by God’s watch-care.
God bless you! Merry Christmas!

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
In preaching the gospel, always focus on the matter of the will. Belief must come from the will to believe. There must be a surrender of the will, not a surrender to a persuasive or powerful argument.

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, viz. into character.
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
from The Love of God—The Ministry of the Unnoticed, 664 L
“The whole of our life inside and out is to be absolutely haunted by the Presence of God.”
- Oswald Chambers
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Awe is the condition of a man’s spirit realizing Who God is and what He has done for him personally.
Our Lord emphasizes the attitude of a child; no attitude can express such solemn awe and familiarity as that of a child.
from Not Knowing Whither, 882 L
WISDOM OF C.S. LEWIS
"He who has Christ and everything else has no more than he who has Jesus only."

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The great word of Jesus to His disciples is Abandon.
When God has brought us into the relationship of disciples, we have to venture on His word;
trust entirely to Him and watch that when He brings us to the venture, we take it.
