Is any “spiritual” word more familiar to us than the word faith? But what does it really mean to have faith?

“Faith is the indefinable certainty of God behind every thing,” said Chambers. “And it is the one thing the Spirit of God makes clearer and clearer as we go on.”

You will find yourself returning again and again to this inspirational treasury of quotations on the subject of faith from the works of Oswald Chambers, the world’s most beloved devotional writer and author of My Utmost for His Highest. Each page of Faith: A Holy Walk also features
questions for your own personal reflection.

Faith is believing what God says and obeying Him. As you do, you find that the distractions and distresses of earth will fade in exchange for a grateful consciousness of God’s providential hand.

“Faith that is sure of itself is not faith,” Chambers concludes. “Faith that is sure of God is the only faith there is.” 

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) is best known for the classic devotional My Utmost for His Highest. Born in Scotland, Chambers had a teaching and preaching ministry that took him as far as the United States and Japan. He died at age forty-three while serving as chaplain to British Commonwealth troops in Egypt during World War I.
