I am tired of hearing the words ‘I can’t’. Jeremiah said, ‘I am a child’; but the Lord didn’t pat him on the back and say, Jeremiah, that is very good, I like that in you; your humility is beautiful.’ Oh no! God didn’t want any such mock humility. He reproved and rebuked it. I do not like the humility that is too humble to do as it is bid. When my children are too humble to do as they are bid, I pretty soon find a way to make them. I say, ‘Go and do it!’ The Lord wants us to ‘go and do it’.
