James Stewart used to say, “Be yourself, but also, forget yourself!” Self-forgetfulness is of vital importance. We cannot make much of ourselves and much of the Lord Jesus Christ simultaneously. If people leave worship saying, “What an amazing preacher!” we have failed. Instead we must long for them to say, “What a great God, and what a privilege it is to meet Him in His Word, as we have just done.”

Fishing Trip

Two guys go on a fishing trip. They rent all the equipment: the reels, the
rods, the wading suits, the rowboat, the car, and even a cabin in the
woods. They spend a fortune.

The first day they go fishing, but they don't catch anything. The same
thing happens on the second day, and on the third day. It goes on like
this until finally, on the last day of their vacation, one of the men
manges to catch a fish.

As they're driving home they're really depressed. One guy turns to the
other and says, "Do you realize that this one lousy fish we caught cost us
fifteen hundred dollars?"

The other guy says, "Wow! It's a good thing we didn't catch any more!"
