prayer
Interesting factoid from a book I'm reading.
Today there are approximately 1.3 million mosques in the world, each issuing a call to prayer five times a day. That means Muslims have 6.5 million prayer meetings every day. That's a real challenge to Christians. Not in the number of prayers, but the depth of prayer, the reality of prayer. Prayer that takes hold of the throne of God on behalf of the church in the Muslim world or the communist word or anyplace in which Christians are suffering. And also prayer for my own life, that I will go where God can use me or do today what will bring salt or light into my world.
When we confidently ask God to carry out His will and remove the obstacles, His answers bring us into the realm of the supernatural. Anything can happen!
