I’m afraid our culture has gotten all too good at believing that our actions will move God to action. I know this, because that thought has crept in my heart. Sadly, it has caused me to mold my spiritual disciplines in such a way that, under the surface, represents itself in the purpose of my spiritual disciplines.
Somewhere along the line, we stopped pursuing Jesus to get close to Him. I’m afraid most of us want to make Him move.
As if God were a Magic 8-Ball and we could just shake Him again and get the answer we want.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve caught it in myself.
There’s nothing wrong with praying for God to move in big ways in your life. In fact, not doing so might just be a symptom of a lack of faith in you.
However, let us rest in the fact that God’s answer is always best!
