For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building. (1 Corinthians 3:9 NKJV)
God wants—and deserves—to be an active partner in our lives, and the more we partner with Him, the more we benefit from that partnership.
A key component in this partnership is being available to Him and for Him.
- To Him in the sense of being sensitive to when He wants to communicate with us, and being available to listen to what He has to say.
- For Him in the sense that we open ourselves to being agents of His purpose in the lives of others, acting as a means for Him to communicate with others who aren’t yet in relationship with Him.
Our spiritual and practical availability is our declaration to the Lord that He is a full partner in our lives, that we want His involvement in all we do. [1]
God has graciously chosen to give us the privilege of being His partners in both the physical and spiritual areas of life. Through prayer we work with Him in defeating the powers of evil and in bringing about the fulfillment of His loving purposes in the world. Partners with God—what a privilege! What an incentive to pray! - Herbert Vander Lugt
