“While it has pleased God to appoint to His saints a portion in the work of seeking, the human part in that work is not worthy to be compared with the divine. Yet man, who by nature comprehends and measures only visible things, is ever prone to disregard the invisible working of the Spirit, and to place an undue emphasis on the comparatively small human share in those undertakings.” – Lewis Sperry Chafer in True Evangelism
To continue our thoughts from yesterday about God’s centrality in evangelism, I hope this quote helps drill down this point. Pray today that you would be aware of the Spirits working in your life and the lives of those around you. Pray that you would recognize things as God’s doing, not yours. I recently read (I forget where) that God chose to use us to share His message, but doesn’t need us. If he wanted, he could have used rocks or trees to declare his name. We are dependent on Him and upon the Spirit working.
