  • Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.

    Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.28, Discovery House
  • There are not three stages in spiritual life-worship, waiting, and work. Some of us go in jumps like spiritual frogs. We jump from worship to waiting to work. God's idea is that the three should go together. They were always together in the life of our Lord.

    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Run Today's Race: A Word from Oswald Chambers for Every Day of the Year”, p.23, Discovery House
  • Wait on God and He will work, but don't wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Hope: A Holy Promise”, p.63, Discovery House
  • One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Hope: A Holy Promise”, p.62, Discovery House
  • To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.

    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Hope: A Holy Promise”, p.63, Discovery House
  • We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.

    Prayer  
  • Do we not see God at work in our circumstances? Dark times are allowed and come to us through the sovreignty of God. Are we prepared to let God do what He wants with us? Are we prepared to be separated from the outward, evident blessings of God? Until Jesus Christ is truly our Lord, we each have goals of our own which we serve. Our faith is real, but it is not yet permanent. And God is never in a hurry. If we are willing to wait, we will see God pointing out that we have been interested only in his blessings, instead of God Himself.

  • We are so busy telling God where we would like to go. We wait with the idea of some great opportunity, something sensational, and when it comes we are quick to cry, 'Here am I.' Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference.

    Oswald Chambers (2015). “Called of God: Extracts from My Utmost for His Highest on the Missionary Call”, p.64, Discovery House
  • God never forces a person's will into surrender, and He never begs. He patiently waits until that person willingly yields to Him. True surrender is a matter of being 'united together [with Jesus] in the likeness of His death' (Romans 6:5) until nothing ever appeals to you that did not appeal to Him. And after you surrender--then what? Your entire life should be characterized by an eagerness to maintain unbroken fellowship and oneness with God.

    Jesus  
  • God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

    Prayer  
    Oswald Chambers (2015). “So Send I You / Workmen Of God: Recognizing and Answering God's Call to Service”, p.30, Discovery House
  • When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word

    Reality  
    Oswald Chambers (2013). “Utmost: Classic Readings and Prayers from Oswald Chambers”, p.5, Discovery House
  • Are you debating whether you should take a step of faith in Jesus, or whether you should wait until you can clearly see how to do what He has asked? Simply obey Him with unrestrained joy. When He tells you something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a misunderstanding of what honors Him and what doesn't. Are you faithful to Jesus, or faithful to your ideas about Him?

    Faith   Jesus  
    Oswald Chambers (2010). “My Utmost for His Highest”, p.195, Discovery House
  • We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.

    Oswald Chambers (2011). “My Utmost for His Highest Classic Edition”, p.110, Discovery House
  • Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
