From Proverbs 12:25: “Anxiety weighs down the human heart, but a good word cheers it up.”

Oswald Chambers Quote
Goodness and purity ought never to attract attention to themselves, they ought simply to be magnets to draw to Jesus Christ.
From John 3:28:30: [John the Baptist is speaking] “You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of Him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice. For this reason my joy has been fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
God never opens doors that have been closed. He opens other doors, but He reminds us that there are doors which we have shut, doors which need never have been shut.
From Luke 19:42: “[Jesus weeps over Jerusalem] As He came near and saw the city, He wept over it, saying, ‘If you, even you, had only recognized on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.'”

The bedrock of our Christian faith is the unmerited, fathomless marvel of the love of God exhibited on the Cross at Calvary, a love we never can and never shall merit.
From Romans 8:37-38: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to our Lord. Are you in the direct line of intercession of our Lord and the Holy Spirit?
From Romans 8:26-27: “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.
From 1 John 5:16-17: “If we say that we have fellowship with Him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true.”

The great need for the Christian worker is to be ready to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn.
From Luke 12:40: “You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour.”
Oswald Chambers Quotes
God has to hide from us what He does until by personal character we get to the place where He can reveal it.
From Revelation 4:1: “After this I looked, and there in heaven a door stood open! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'”

Are you debating whether to take a step in faith in Jesus or to wait until you can see how to do the thing yourself? Obey Him with glad reckless joy.
From John 11:7-9: “Then after this He said to the disciples, ‘Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to Him, ‘Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?’ Jesus answered, ‘Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world.'”
Oswald Chambers Quote
The discipline of dismay is an essential necessity in the life of discipleship. When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
From Mark 10:32: “They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them; they were amazed.”
