Corinthians 10:12
"For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with
some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves
among themselves, are not wise."
There is marvelous power in the weakest of men, when governed by a single purpose and filled with the consciousness and the power of God. Weak and contemptible in themselves, they are often the chosen channels through which God pours His living water. The Apostle remarks that some who criticized him bore themselves proudly, because their standard was so low. A five-foot man thinks himself tall when he compares himself with a dwarf! Always compare what is worst in yourself with what is best in others, and you will be kept humble.
Paul was always pressing outward to the fields that lay beyond. These were vast unoccupied regions, which he coveted to count as provinces in the Kingdom of Christ. This is the supreme test of a man. It is easy to build on foundations laid by another Christian worker, and to win away his converts, However such conduct is mean and cowardly. Open up new ground and show what’s in you. But do this in the meekness and gentleness of Christ.
Amen!
