What we don’t do for God is often more critical that what we in fact do. God is the beginning, center, and end of the world’s life- of existence itself. But we’re often unaware of God’s action except dimly and peripherally. Especially when we’re in full possession of our powers- our education complete, our careers in full swing, people admiring us and prodding us onward- it’s hard not to imagine that we’re at the beginning, center, and end of the world, or at least of that part of the world in which we’re placed. At these moments we need prophetic interference.
