And this wise man said: stop.
He said, stop asking God to bless what you're doing.
Get involved in what God is doing - because it's already blessed.
Bono (an excerpt from his speech at this year's National Prayer Breakfast)
You can read the speech at Larry James' blog. I was surprised at the depth of conviction and the sophistication of content.
I love the thought of getting onboard with what God is doing. I have always appreciated Luke's strategic use of the words of Gamaliel--
"Therefore in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if there purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men: you will only find yourselves fighting against God." Acts 5:38-9
Have a good day!

I LOVE that scripture too!
That speech was outstanding! I loved it so much that I added the link to one of my blogs.
If you have the computer capability...you must listen to the speech. Larry James has a link to the CNN video clip (follow the link in my post).
Jim Wallis (the 'Jim', Bono refers to in his speech) is hyping the address in Sojourners. You can find links to Sojourners at Larry's blog.
There are some great things happening in our world, as there are some terrible happenings; I think it is good for us to be aware.
