I Did Not Do It!
AUGUST 31, 2026
Daily Reading—Psa. 119:1-88 / 1 Co. 5
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 3:6-7 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I will never forget Jim. Jim was a man I had the privilege of leading to the Lord. He was older and had been around churches longer than I had. However, for whatever reason, God used something I said to shine a light into Jim’s heart and illuminate the Gospel. Often in services where we asked for testimonies, Jim would pop up and say something like, “I am so glad I am saved, and thank Pastor for saving me.” I would continually remind him I did not do it; God saved Him. He would say, “I know that, but you know what I mean.”
What a joy to be used by God to help someone’s life be changed eternally. However, we need never lose sight of who is truly doing the saving. Only God can save a soul.
