For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

Oswald Chambers
Spiritual, Understanding, Matter
"Studies in the Sermon on the Mount: God's Character and the Believer's Conduct".

The golden rule for understanding spiritually is not intellect, but obedience. If a man wants scientific knowledge, intellectual curiosity is his guide; but if he wants insight into what Jesus Christ teaches, he can only get it by obedience.

Oswald Chambers
Jesus, Men, Understanding
Oswald Chambers (1935). “The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers: My Utmost for His Highest; Selections for the Year”

We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.

Oswald Chambers
Prayer, Understanding, Succeed
Oswald Chambers (2011). “The Quotable Oswald Chambers”, p.311, Discovery House

Our understanding of God is the answer to prayer; getting things from God is God's indulgence of us. When God stops giving us things, He brings us into the place where we can begin to understand Him.

Oswald Chambers
Prayer, Giving, Understanding
Oswald Chambers (2010). “Prayer: A Holy Occupation”, p.66, Discovery House
