"...Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. Hear me, 0 Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LordGod, and that thou hast turned their hearts back again" (I Kings 18:36-37). This passage of scripture is underlined in my Bible, and I usually read it before I preach. It is not a mantra or a motto, but rather, for me, A REMINDER OF WHAT I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED TO DO AND A PRAYER UNTO GOD, THAT HE MIGHT GET ALL THE GLORY... that He would reveal Himself in His true character, and that if anything is accomplished, folks would KNOW that HE did it.
