Today, we learn the third point of this foundation of my teaching on prayer.
3. God will receive the most glory when man, in an exercise of his will, depends on God for the grace and power to serve Him. “Whoever speaks [must do so] as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies-in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” “To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.” (emphasis supplied)
We see that God receives the most glory when we depend on Him and not something else. From the book of Job, we see that Satan and God may have a dialogue about a specific individual. Do you want our God to be able to say to Satan concerning you: "Have you considered My servant (insert your name)?" What a blessing to pray in a way that brings the most glory to God!
