We're sowing for the long run to be conformed more and more to his likeness, to look more like the one that we love.
The great joys and the great discouragements, it's the same thing of the Christian life, is that we just don't always know what actually is being accomplished.
I spend time with the Lord in prayer here, praying for these things, and I'm not quite sure, was there any effect from these prayers?
And that's both the discouragement and the joy of the Christian life.
It could be a discouragement because you go, did I just waste the last 20 minutes?
But it's also one of the great encouragements.
because I never quite know what he's doing.
And just a moment spent here can have eternal benefits here.
So what does it look like to spend time daily with the Lord?
Well, I really don't need to tell you, but it means attending to the means of grace as we've talked about.
He works by his word and he works in prayer.
And so that's what we do when we're in our closets, when we're alone with Him.
We open up the Word daily.
Would you have a plan for doing so?
Not just open the book and say, I believe in a God of providence, and you just open up wherever and read what page it opens up to.
