“For no prophecy ever came by the will of "man": but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter "1":21
Have you noticed how certain words and images are constantly employed by Paul which were not used by Peter or John or Matthew? Have you seen how Luke has structured his Gospel in one way and Mark in another? Have you observed in the one the note of compassion, in the other of immediacy? On each book, the writer leaves his own indelible mark; yet each is the Word of God.<br/><br/>Take courage from this. If God wanted to do so, He could use an ass; indeed, He did so once to speak to Balaam. But the ass only spoke when God’s Word was in his mouth; and when God moved on, only an ass remained. Thank God He has chosen you to understand His Word, live it out, and then give it your own unique emphasis when in weakness and fear and much trembling you are called to speak it out for Him.
