2 Samuel 7:18 \u00a0 <\/span>Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, \u201cWho am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God! Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name and doing for them great and awesome things by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. And your name will be magnified forever, saying, \u2018The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,\u2019 and the house of your servant David will be established before you. For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, \u2018I will build you a house.\u2019 Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

Genesis 32:10<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant,<\/p>\n

1 Samuel 15:17<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And Samuel said, \u201cThough you are little in your own eyes, are you not the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel.<\/p>\n

Psalms 8:4<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?<\/p>\n

1 Kings 3:9<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil, for who is able to govern this your great people?\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 3:5<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

When it comes to the knowledge of how one may stand before God and attain eternal life, that is truly not to be achieved by our work or power, nor to originate in our brain.\u00a0In spiritual matters, human reasoning certainly is not in order; other intelligence, other skill and power, are requisite here \u2013 something to be granted by God himself and revealed through his Word.<\/p>\n

Martin Luther – Of ourselves \u2013 in our own wisdom and strength \u2013 we cannot effect, discover nor teach any counsel or help for man, whether for ourselves or others. Any good work we perform among you; any doctrine we write upon your heart \u2013 that is God\u2019s own work. He puts into our heart and mouth what we should say, and impresses it upon your heart through the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we cannot ascribe to ourselves any honor therein, cannot seek our own glory as the self-instructed and proud spirits do; we must give to God alone the honor, and must glory in the fact that by his grace and power he works in you unto salvation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
