Me: I am not sure about what was said by that guy.
Prodigal: He ain’t done a nary thing.
Me: Listen though for what his focus is.
This is from A.W. Pink
The prophet needed further training in secret if he was to be personally fitted to speak again for God in public….The man whom the Lord uses has to be kept low: severe discipline has to be experienced by him…..Three more years must be spent by the prophet in seclusion. How humbling! Alas, how little is man to be trusted: how little is he able to bear being put into the place of honor! How quickly self rises to the surface, and the instrument is ready to believe his is something more than an instrument. How sadly easy it is to make of the very service God entrusts us with a pedestal on which to display ourselves.
John 6:51
I am living the bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.
