Psalms 30:7 KJV
LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
It is both a comfort and a humbling thought that our successes, strengths and prosperities are not of our own making, but the result of the favor of the Lord.
It is comforting because we may rest in Him who is always good.
It is humbling because the sinful human nature longs o beg credit for its own "mountain."
Gill says
"....it was not owing to his own merit that he enjoyed the prosperity that he did, so neither was the continuance of it owing to his goodness, power, and strength, but to the free grace and favour of God...."
Praise God for His free grace and favor.
