Faith never knows where it is being led, it knows and loves the One who is leading. It is a life of faith, not of intelligence and reason, but a life of knowing Who is making me ‘go.’

No Man Is Safe Apart From God – Oswald Chambers
Beware of the people who tell you life is simple. Life is such a mass of complications that no man is safe apart from God. Coming to Jesus does not simplify life; it simplifies my relationship to God.

Why You Struggle in Prayer – Oswald Chambers
If we are struggling in prayer it is because the wiles of the enemy are getting the upper hand, and we must look for the cause in our lack of discipline. There are some things we have not been strenuously practicing. We used to pray in the morning, do we now? We used to commune with God over the Bible, do we now? We used to be in contact with God wherever we went, are we now? Put on the whole armor of God and continuously practice, then the wiles of the devil cannot get you unaware.

The Way of Faithfulness – Oswald Chambers
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Fathers will. His is not the way of wisdom or success, but the way of faithfulness.

Never Water Down the Gospel – Oswald Chambers
Never water down or minimize the mighty Gospel of God by considering that people may be misled by certain statements. Present the Gospel in all its fullness and God will guard His own truth.

What is Faith – Oswald Chambers
“Above all, taking the shield of faith.” Faith is unbreakable confidence in the personality of God, not in His power. There are some things over which we may lose faith if we have confidence in God’s power only. There is so much that looks like the mighty power of God that is not.
We must have confidence in God over and above everything He may do, and stand in confidence that His character is unsullied. Faith stands all tests – “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” When we take the shield of faith, none of these things can get through without breaking the shield. We are protected by the covering shield.
