"Early in the morning, O Lord,
I sow my seed of prayer to you,
and then wait in eager expectation."
-David
-David
(Psalm 5:3)
As we pray, God works. His delight becomes our delight. We therefore become more god-ly which means we better represent Him. As He works through our delight, our faith grows. We do this again and again, and our faith grows and grows!
"I think it's safe to assume that most Christians are not attempting anything that requires God's intervention. They are not looking for God to do anything special. They are not aware that they need Him to do anything special. They are trusting that He will step in once they breathe their last breath. But other than that, they live as if they have everything under control." -Andy Stanley Visioneering 71-72.
Prayer...expectation...observation...delight...faith ... and again...
