If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

Oswald Chambers

Sweet, Grace, Cups

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

Grace, Growth, Sin

Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.420, Discovery House

We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing- that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God’s assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.

Oswald Chambers

Ordinary Days, Ideas, Grace

Oswald Chambers (2013). “Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers”, p.49, Discovery House

Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.

Oswald Chambers

Water, Heaven, Grace

Oswald Chambers (2013). “Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers”, p.64, Discovery House

Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.

Oswald Chambers

Grace, Favors, Overflow

Oswald Chambers (2013). “Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers”, p.62, Discovery House

God's silences are His answers. If we only take as answers those that are visible to our senses, we are in a very elementary condition of grace.

Oswald Chambers

Prayer, Silence, Grace

Oswald Chambers (2013). “If You Will Ask: Reflections on the Power of Prayer”, p.45, Discovery House

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

Oswald Chambers

Grace, Doe, Bears

Oswald Chambers (2006). “My Utmost Fhh Grad Updated/E”, Barbour Publishing

The characteristic of a disciple is not that he does good things, but that he is good in his motives, having been made good by the supernatural grace of God.

Oswald Chambers

Grace, Doe, Good Things

Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.421, Discovery House

Our work is not to save souls, but to disciple them. Salvation and sanctification are the work of God's sovereign grace, and our work as His disciples is to disciple others' lives until they are totally yielded to God. One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit. As workers for God, we must reproduce our own kind spiritually, and those lives will be God's testimony to us as His workers. God brings us up to a standard of life through His grace, and we are responsible for reproducing that same standard in others.

Oswald Chambers

Grace, Soul, Sovereign
