Rom. 7:18

Paul say’s “In me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing”.
(Rom. 7:18).
A threshing-floor is the place where you separate the wheat from the chaff. All were saying what a wise man David was, but throughout his history, there often appeared little else but chaff in his brain. Through his failures God said to him: “Look at the chaff”. Only after being brought to many ‘threshing-floors’, was David’s brain delivered from the chaff. Through he was a king, he had to be rebuked by God many times, and had to pay a great price for deliverance.
We have all of us to pay a heavy price to be God’s servants. We have to be prepared to be delivered from our chaff, and first of all from the chaff in our brain! What is that chaff? In God’s sight it is all that we have secured through our own intellectual ability. In Isaiah 40.6 we read: “All flesh is grass”. He is the grain of wheat – He is our true wisdom. All our experiences are designed to teach us to depend on that wisdom alone.
