2 Samuel 22:17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; All real progress is from God. There is no little truth in the observation of Mephistopheles "that the human mind merely advances spirally, and reverts to a spot close to its origin." Dr. R. D. Hitch-cock says: "In all human advancement, the motive power has not been a force in man, lifting him upward, or on the earthward side, driving him onward, but the movement has been along an inclined plane, due to an engine drawing from the top. (A. T. Pierson, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;WEB: He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters. |
