Well Said.....
You know when it comes to relying on who to get things done we need to be a bit more proactive.
For example, If I need a job I can stay home and pray for a job, or I can get up off of the couch and go out and look for a job along with prayer.
Simply sitting around and praying is not how God works.
When God works in this world He does so through His people. It does not just fall out of the sky.
Trying to act super spiritual in order to divert attention from the failed actions of the President is not helpful.
PnS is as close, and I do not mean to offend him, to a WofF believer as I've seen on this board!
Prayer is the begininng to anything we need from God, but it will not take the palce of filling out the application, droping off a resume, and going to the interview. It will not take the place of researching the potential employer, and preparing yourself for the interview.
I believe in the power of prayer as much as the next guy, but prayer without action is, or as you say, being proactive, is useless!
I have gotten all of my jobs through prayer, and I prayed they would review my app, and they did. I prayed they would call me for an interview. And they did. I prayed for Him to quicken my mind and help me to impress the panel at the interview, and He did! And prayed that if God wanted me at this employer, that He'd open the final door. and he did!
PnS, this is getting a job, or anything else you may have a need for, by being engaged and doing the footwork along with the knee work! :saint:
