Thread on Philip Yancey and the Glacial God

I’m reading this book about prayer and it’s eery how much it resonates with my thoughts earlier today about flow and God as a glacier upstream https://t.co/b6rcVMQLdQ

“Streams of mercy flow. I begin with God, who bears primary responsibility for what happens on earth, and ask what part I can play in God’s work on earth. ‘Let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!’”

“I plead with God, as if hoping to change God’s mind and overcome divine reluctance. Instead, I should start upstream where the flow begins.”
