1 | If we have any knowledge | 1 Cor 12:7 | humbledbyhisgrace | 181919 | ||
"If we have any knowledge of the truth, or any power to make it known, we must give all the glory of God. The greater the gifts are, the more the possessor is exposed to temptations, and the larger is the measure of grace needed to keep him humble and spiritual; and he will meet with more painful experiences and humbling dispensations. We have little cause to glory in any gifts bestowed on us, or to despise those who have them not".—Matthew Henry | ||||||

Dear Steve, First of all, greetings to you and wish you a wonderfully blessed New Year. I love your note. I will save it in my file. It reminds me of how I stumbled and failed in the past due to my own arrogant and ignorant. However, my loving God did not forsake me but dealt me. It was really painful but totally out of His grace and love. 11 Heb 12:5-6 "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him; for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, and He scourges every son whom he receives." Shalom Azure |

Greetings Azure! Thank you for the kind words and blessings and I too wish you a blessed year. In regards to the quote by Matthew Henry it was a good reminder to me as well and my hope was it would be a good reminder to others. We need to be ever mindful that any gift we have was given to us by God and it is for His glory. In light of Brother Hank's post 181928 where he shared from his prayer journal I'll share this short but in my case many times necessary prayer as it fits well with the quote from Matthew Henry. Father, forgive me for what I make of it some times! Azure I have read your post as you have engaged in this forum and one thing that stands out to me is you are very gracious and kind to all. Another great reminder to everyone I might add! God bless you Sister, Steve |
