A renowned surgeon of the 18th century in France, responded to a journalist about his admirable gift in closing wounds: "You see these hands? They are not mine, they are God's".

This surgeon's ability was such that he left sutures as thin as sewing thread.

Man tends to consider his great abilities in an egocentric way, that he forgot or has not bothered to inquire, from whom he received them.

1 Corinthians 4:7 NKJV

7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

John 19:10-11 NKJV

10 Then Pilate said to Him, “Are You not speaking to me? Do You not know that I have power to crucify You, and power to release You?”
11 Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”

1 Chronicles 29:11-14 NKJV

11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all.
12 Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
13 “Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things come from You, and of Your own we have given You.
