Day By Day With Billy Graham / Poverty of Soul

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 225 of 366 Poverty of Soul No man is more pathetic than he who is in great need and is not aware of it. Remember Samson? Standing there in the valley of Sorek, surrounded by the lords of the Philistines, " . . . he wist not that the Lord was departed from him." It has been truly said, "No man is so ignorant as he who knows nothing and knows not that he knows nothing. No man is so sick as he who has a fatal disease and is not aware of it. No man is so poor as he who is destitute, and yet thinks he is rich." The pitiable thing about the Pharisees was not so much their hypocrisy as it was their utter lack of knowledge of how poor they actually were in the sight of God. There is always something pathetic about a man who thinks he is rich when he is actually poor, who thinks he is good when he is actually vile, who thinks he is educated when he is actually illiterate. Daily Prayer Might I always remember the poverty of my soul before Your love invaded my life, Lord Jesus, and I knew You as Savior. Jeremiah 4:22 NASB 22 "For My people are foolish, They know Me not; They are stupid children And have no understanding. They are shrewd to do evil, But to do good they do not know."
