*‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭10:15‬ ‭NIV* “Does the ax raise itself above the person who swings it, or the saw boast against the one who uses it? As if a rod were to wield the person who lifts it up, or a club brandish the one who is not wood!”‬‬

*10:15* No instruments or tool accomplishes its purpose without a greater power. The Assyrian’s were a tool in God’s hands, but they failed to recognize it. When a tool boasts of greater power than the one who uses it, it is in danger of being discarded. We are useful only to the extent that we allow God to use us. If God has given us resources and special talents, we must not regard them as our own creation or special privilege.
