"Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.” ~ Psa. 41:3
A dear brother, now with the Lord, was in a Tennessee hospital for liver problems, because of drugs he took while unconverted. I called to comfort him, and just before finishing our talk I quoted the above verse to him. Some months later I heard him give this testimony. Immediately after placing the phone in its cradle, a sweet little nurse entered his room. She smiled, and then said, “Mister Danny, if you can just stand for a minute, I’ll make your bed for you.”
I learned early in my Christian life two of the greatest truths God ever revealed to me: 1) God will not do for me what I can do for myself. And 2), God will do for me what I cannot do for myself.
Jesus didn’t roll the stone away at Lazarus’ tomb, because the men could. But God did roll it away at Jesus’ tomb, because the women couldn’t.
A.W. Tozer has a message entitled, “Miracles Follow the Plow.” That is, you need not expect a miracle until you have done all you know and can do.
Miracles in Bible times came not to those who were looking or praying for them, but to those who were doing what they could do. Then, when all human resources were exhausted, the Divine kicked in.
