Specific times and places and communion with God go together. It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning. -Oswald Chambers
The quiet hour of prayer is one of the most favorable opportunities He has in which to speak to us seriously. In quietude and solitude before the face of God our souls can hear better than at any other time. O.Hallesby
When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? Job 34.29
On weekends I linkup with other Sunday Thoughts over at Mom-gene!
August 2018 Quietude is featuring quotes from Oswald Chambers. Chambers is one of my all-time favorites and his devotional My Utmost for His Highest is the book that catapulted my maturity in the faith – next to the Bible, it is pivotal for a believer. Read more about Oswald here.
Such a great Chambers quote for a Sunday morning.
Thanks, Susan!
Have you read his wife’s bio? She was such a hero behind the scenes, and if it were not for her hard word, we would not have Oswald’s good thoughts!
Yes. I’m an Oswald and Biddy junkie!
