Whenever Moses held up his hand,

                      Israel prevailed;

and whenever he lowered his hand,

                      Amalek prevailed.

                               Exodus 17. 11

(Praying matters more than 

          we can ever imagine.

What am I spreading out

      before the LORD?

Who am I lifting up to Him?

How different our lives would be.

How radically different

            this world would be.)
