1 Samuel 14:6 And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised… Richter says that we should all "make as much of ourselves as can be made out of the stuff." The stuff we are made of may be particularly poor, for we know that we have been able to make little or nothing out of it. Suppose we take it to its Maker and ask Him to do something with it? On the keystone of a bridge over a stream in a beautiful Scotch parish are the words, "God and We," teaching all who read them that nothing can be built without the help of the great Architect. It is so with the edification or building up of ourselves. It is not "God alone," which would mean human idleness; or "We" alone, which would mean human presumption; or "We and God," which would be almost blasphemy; but "God and We." Parallel Verses KJV: And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. |
