What about diligence for the believer? How can so many Christians be contented with such little knowledge of the scriptures? Why are we not more diligent when it comes to studying what the Word says about the various issues in our lives?
What about diligence with regard to prayer? Too many think that prayer is simply to be used only in emergencies and extreme moments of anguish or pain. However, in the economy of God diligence in prayer is required. One must fight to ensure that their intimacy with the Lord is maintained. Effective and productive living comes only from quality time spent with God. There are too many people in ministry that rely on marketing and other natural resources to build the work of God. What about praying until the answer walks through the door? What about staying before God until He changes us and transforms our weaknesses into strength? How about just waiting on the Lord until he renews our strength and not walking from the prayer meeting until we can run and not be weary and walk and not faint?
If diligence means earnest expectation, when have we waited on the Lord in earnest expectation or simply with diligence?
