DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 24; Job 29-30; Matt. 13:1-23
The people that are with thee are too many for Me, lest Israel say…mine own hand hath saved me. Judges 7:2
Called by God to overcome the Midianites, Gideon had 32,000 men at his disposal. God whittled that number down to just 300! Why? So that He would get the glory. In all our plans and programs to get the Gospel out to needy sinners, we must be careful that we follow no course which might bring glory to any human being. 1 Peter 4:11 tells us, “if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ.” May we live thus. —David Croudace
Not I but Christ in humble, earnest toil;
Christ, none but Christ, the gatherer of the spoil. —A. Whiddington
