“The assumption of spirituality is that always God is doing something before I know it. So the task is not to get God to do something I think needs to be done, but to become aware of what God is doing so that I can respond to it and participate and take delight in it.”
from Eugene Peterson in an interview by Ray Ortlund, here.
Apparently originally in Christianity Today, 3 April 1987, pages 25-26.
