No Common Man

Prodigal: I think we need a good laugh.

Me: Here, God, I pray for a fat bank account and a thin body (and please don’t mix them up again.)

This is from The Soul Winner by C.H. Spurgeon

Elisha was no common man when God’s Spirit was upon him, calling him to God’s work and aiding him in it. And you, devoted, earnest, prayerful teacher, remain no longer a common being. You have become, in a special manner, the temple of the Holy Spirit. God dwells in you, and you, by faith, have entered into the career of a wonder-worker. You are sent into the world not to do things that are possible to man, but those impossibilities that God works by His Spirit, by the means of His believing people.

O God, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; Selah: Psalm 68:7 (KJV)
