When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.

Jonathan Edwards

It is not by telling people about ourselves that we demonstrate our Christianity. Words are cheap. It is by costly, self-denying Christian practice that we show the reality of our faith.

Cheap Faith Ourselves People Practice Reality
The end of the creation is that the creation might glorify God. Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed?
