26:11-16 - "...Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things..."
In our own strength, we are weak. However, with the Lord, we can work many mighty miracles.
That's why we should give credit where credit is due, and why we can't glory too much in the Lord (Moses 1:39, Alma 29:9).
26:22 - "...yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance..."
These are great blessings, and they require great work. Although, the work is a great blessing in and of itself.
26:22 - "...yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance..."
We want to have understanding. We want to help bring others to Christ. We want to learn new things. This takes faith, acting on our faith, and living righteously so we may open ourselves to receiving more of the gift of faith. It is a profound circle of learning, faith, and application. As we live it, we will receive more.
