“Prayer is not preparation for the greater work; prayer is the greater work.”
Oswald Chambers · My Utmost for His Highest
Scripture
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
Reflection
Chambers said that prayer is not preparation for the greater work, but prayer is the greater work. As Rock Home walked alongside this family for over two months, meeting weekly, the hard soil gradually softened without us realizing it. Signs of warming appeared in the couple's relationship, and the brother even came to church this morning. This is not due to our companionship, but because many brothers and sisters earnestly interceded behind the scenes, and God Himself worked in their hearts. Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap—today, it feels as though we are seeing the beginning of the harvest.
