The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.

Oswald Chambers

All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.
OSWALD CHAMBERS
