The Forging of the Shaft

Listen from:
WHAT a busy scene we have before us as we look into a forge and see a number of men working with a huge derrick. No doubt in those days, nearly sixty-five years ago, they thought they had a wonderful forge; but many improvements have been made since that time, and such a shaft would be handled in a very different way. The crane and hammer too would he worked by steam power.
God has given man the intelligence to do many wonderful things, but the sad thing about it is that man generally leaves God out of all that he does, and gives himself the credit, as if he had made himself. The Scripture says, “Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.” Prov. 16:33Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established. (Proverbs 16:3).
He is the One we need to be dependent upon for everything, and we should commit all our ways to Him.
“IN ALL THY WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS.” Prov. 3:66In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:6).
