If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.

Oswald Chambers

God speaks in the language you know best – not through your ears, but through your circumstances.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.

Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Character Expression God Goodness Human Religion
When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Alone Beginning Friendship God Ourselves Question Suffering Teaching
God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.

God Patience Reality Shape Vision Way
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
