Oswald Chambers Quotes About Devotion

Quotes about: Devotion

• The call of God is to preach the gospel--namely, the reality of redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. The one passion of Paul's life was to proclaim the gospel of God.

• We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for.

Prayer is the most normal and useful thing; it is not simply a reflex action of your devotion to God. We are very slow to learn to draw on God's grace through prayer.
