Oswald Chambers, author of My Utmost for His Highest, remains one of the best-loved and most deeply respected theologians and writers in church history. Few authors inspire and encourage as he does, and never is this more apparent than in Devotions for a Deeper Life.
Devotions for a Deeper Life, excerpted from lesser known essays Chambers wrote in the early twentieth century, will instruct and encourage you with its accuracy and poignant reflections on the Christian life. This daily devotional dives into what it means to live out your faith in dynamic and compelling ways. More than 75 years have passed since the original publication, but the content remains relevant and deeply inspiring.
Oswald Chambers created one of the most classic and influential books in church history when he penned My Utmost for His Highest. His insights and understanding of the nature of God challenge readers to examine their faith and grow in depth and maturity. Devotions for a Deeper Life brings this message to an entirely new generation of believers and will show, once again, the timeless beauty found in the truth of Scripture.

A S THE EDITOR OF Gods Revivalist from 1976 to 1985, I had the privilege of reviewing and researching past issues of that historic periodical, the official publication of Gods Bible School and College in Cincinnati, Ohio. I became particularly interested in the writings of certain authorsamong who was Oswald Chambers. From 1907 to 1916, 181 articles by Chambers appeared in Gods Revivalist.
While en route from England to Japan in 1906, Chambers stopped in Cincinnati and visited the campus of Gods Bible School. He was invited by the administration to remain on campus and teach some Bible courses. He did so for six months before he continued on his missionary journey to Japan. Gods Revivalist published many of the notes from his classroom lectures and the Bible studies that he led at the Salvation Park Holiness Camp, sponsored by Gods Bible School during the early years of its history. In subsequent years, Chambers contributed other articles to Gods Revivalist.
The writings of Oswald Chambers contained in this volume were excerpted from these articles in Gods Revivalist. Particular care was taken to use material heretofore unfamiliar to todays reader of Oswald Chambers. His writings in Gods Revivalist have, for the most part, lay unresearched in the archives of the Revivalist office. Oswald Chambers is respected as an effective expositor of the Word of God, a prolific writer, and a practical Christian teacher whose disciplined mind explored the rich, redemptive truths of our Lord Jesus Christ. The writings of Oswald Chambers are cogent, challenging, and convincing. His pen etches the blessed truths of God, as revealed in the Holy Bible, with penetrating and passionate conviction. I commend this volume as a spiritual aid to all who seek to be more like Christ in Spirit-filled living for Him.
GLENN D. BLACK, EDITOR
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
W HAT IS PEACE ? Y OU HAVE seen a water puddle in the road, Im sure. It is peaceful. There is not the slightest stirring in it. The water is smooth and unruffled. The colors of nature are reflected in it. That is not peace, but stagnant death!
Have you ever seen a child spinning a top? When the top is going its fastest, it is at perfect rest. The peace of God is perfection of energy; it is a healthy vigor of the soul.
The peace of God is not the peace of stoicism or passivity. It is the most intense activity. Some people say that they are tired of life; they mean to say that they are tired of dying. They are tired of the spiritual death that stops activity. They are tired of life getting so sluggish.
What does Jesus say? I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Everything in this natural world is pitted against you, and unless you have His life you will never have real peace.
May the Lord have a new year in you!
Prayer Thought: Lord, thank You for inner peace in the midst of a troubled world.
SUGGESTED READING: ISAIAH 26:34
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.
John 1:12
O UR L ORD J ESUS C HRIST DID not come into this world to do the work of a social reformer, a political administrator, a judge, or simply a ruler in the affairs of men and women.
Jesus came as the Light of the World, to perform a work of grace in the hearts of individuals that will impart a new disposition of righteousness. This heartfelt transformation will make God real in our lives.
Jesus Christ is a Savior who saves, not by the impressions we derive from a study of His character, but through the work He did by the shedding of His blood on the cross. Jesus Christ is a Sanctifier who sanctifies, not by our sympathetic imitation of Him, but by the fact of what He works in us.
Our Lord was not only without sin, but He also provides a work of grace whereby you and I might be without sin. Our Lord not only obeyed the good and perfect will of God perfectly, but He also makes it possible for us to fully obey Gods perfect will. Our Lord Jesus Christ was our personal substitute on the cross, and our participation in His salvation depends on our acknowledgment of this glorious deed in our behalf.
Prayer Thought: Father, I acknowledge my salvation through the shed blood of Jesus on the cross.
SUGGESTED READING: JOHN 1:614
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows.
Isaiah 53:4
B EWARE OF ANY TEACHING THAT makes repentance the ransom that persuades God to forgive sin. Repentance is only the avenue whereby God enables us to see that our sinful condition is hopeless unless God does a remarkable work of grace and redemption in our lives.
Just as I am without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh, Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Isaiah reminds us that Jesus was was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (53:5). This is the only scriptural understanding of how sin can be forgiven. It is the only way that Gods character is clearly vindicated and His unutterable love exhibited: by making His only-begotten Son the scapegoat for every man, woman, and child.
Prayer Thought: Lord of mercy, I bow humbly, confessing my personal need of Your grace and redemption.
SUGGESTED READING: ISAIAH 53
I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee.
Luke 15:18
T HE WORD repentance IS OFTEN misunderstood. This word, as we know it in the English language, does not fully convey the idea that God wants us to understand.
Repentance does not simply mean sorrow for sin. No! The prodigal son had remorse and sorrow while he fed pigs. In despair, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! (Luke 15:17).
