That's why God tests us - to show our faith can be trusted. David overcame the lion and bear so he was ready to face Goliath. You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can't count the apples in a seed. The difference between now and before Calvary is that now the extent of our relationship with God depends not on God but on us. The veil was rent in two.
Someone can be sincerely wrong.
Rev. Gregory S. Neal, Beverly Drive United Methodist Church, Wichita Falls, Tex. A man may sometimes seem self-assertive when, really, he has so completely lost himself in God that he does not care what people think about him, whether they regard him as an egotist or not. Some men appear to be modest because they are proud, while others seem to be proud because they have sunk themselves, and only speak so boldly because they have their Master's authority at the back of their words. While the wheat sleeps comfortably in the husk it is useless to man, it must be threshed out of its resting place before its value can be known.
