Only a mere tool
We are only a small tool used by God. When we forget this fact, we become arrogant. We must repent if we, only a mere tool, had believed that all was done by our own strength and boasted ourselves with prideful actions and words. How can an ax raise itself above the person who swings it or a saw boast against who uses it. We thank God that he lowers and handles those who have arrogant hearts.
