Send Me No Visions

OVER 5,000 ARTICLES AND QUOTES PUBLISHED!
Samuel at Gilgal

This year I will be sharing brief excerpts from the articles, sermons, and books I am currently reading. My posts will not follow a regular schedule but will be published as I find well-written thoughts that should be of interest to maturing Christian readers. Whenever possible, I encourage you to go to the source and read the complete work of the author.

Send Me No Visions

Posted on Thursday, December 19, 2013 by Samuel

I have made a covenant with my God that He send me neither visions, dreams, nor even angels. I am well satisfied with the gift of the Holy Scriptures, which give me abundant instruction and all that I need to know both for this life and for the life which is to come. Martin Luther

That is kind of sad when you really consider it. Telling God to not give him all the joy and possibility that He might have had in mind for him because he was satisfied with what He had. God bless you!

  I think Luther said this in response to the Zwickau prophets who where causing division in the early Protestant Church.

I’ve just begun a book about the Wisdom of God by Nancy Guthrie. This quote makes me think that Martin Luther searched for God’s wisdom and found out that it comes from the Scriptures, not from other sources.
