John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven."
John 3:27 NKJV
David understood this.
But the king said, “What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ Who then shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’ ”
II Samuel 16:10 NKJV
Does the word "nothing" really mean "nothing"? I would say that indeed, a man can receive NOTHING unless it is given to him from God.
O Lord , I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
Jeremiah 10:23 NKJV
Knowing these things should bring us to our knees before God, praying "Lord have mercy on me..."
