Capon: All God needs...

Meditation:
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having studied?”
Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.”
—John 7:15-16 (NIV)

Quotation:
All God needs to make a universe is nothing; all he needs to make a preacher is a nobody.
... Robert Farrar Capon (1925-2013), The Foolishness of Preaching, Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1997, p. 26 (see the book)
See also John 7:15-16; Gen. 1:2; Amos 7:14-15; Matt. 11:25; Acts 4:13; 1 Cor. 1:27

Quiet time reflection:
Sovereign Lord, You raise up Your servants as You will.
