Credit Where It’s Due

I don’t remember who said this, but the message stays with me: 

We humans often take credit for God’s work. 
We think, “Praise us from whom all blessings flow.”

 

Been there, done that.
I was wrong, Lord. 
The credit is all yours.

  1. True – but it seem like we’re doing the heavy lifting sometimes, as per Housman:

    These, in the day when heaven was falling,
    the hour when Earth’s foundations fled,
    followed their mercenary calling,
    and took their wages, and are dead.

    Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
    they stood, and Earth’s foundation stay.
    What God abandoned, these defended,
    and saved the sum of things for pay.

      I heard a rumor that Atlas was doing the heavy lifting.

      • Yeah, but when I’m in the ‘roid room I can outlift him.

        And I didn’t even need ‘roids! (Chest fills out, muscles flex, and while looking at his passing reflection in a window, Andrew walks into a wall.)

      • Shirlee Abbott says:

        I too have walked into walls while admiring my reflection. Friday’s post on “pride goes before the fall” could be rephrased, “Pride goes into the wall.”
