Psalm 100:3-4 "Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture (4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name."
We sometimes hear it said of an individual, "He/she is a self-made
person." It seems to me that being self-made would indicate a vile
individual whose sin nature is only seen. It is impossible for anyone
that is self-made to be considered good. That sounds harsh, doesn't
it?
The good news is that any individual who shows forth goodness from their hearts
has been made by God. "It is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves." I'm so thankful for that, for you see anything manmade is
fit for destruction. Anything made by man begins to deteriorate from the
first moment.
Thank you Lord that your work endures forever. Thank you Lord that your
salvation is eternal. These mortal bodies grow old, but the inner man
that is born of God grows stronger each day. Thank you Father! And may I
ever give you the honor that you deserve.
