Taylor: the full capacity of prayer

Saturday, September 11, 2010
Meditation:
    The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”
    He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you.”
    —Luke 17:5-6 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity... If we want to see mighty works of Divine grace and power wrought, in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let [us] answer God’s standing challenge, “Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
    ... J. Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), included in Good News for Russia, ed. Jesse Wendell Brooks, Chicago: The Bible Institute Colportage Association, 1918, p. 32 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant us the desire to see Your work in our lives and in the world. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
