"I cannot dig.” There are many things in life we cannot do, but any can dig. It does not take a PhD. The most ignorant can do it. Unless one is lame or too feeble, there is no excuse for not picking up a shovel when necessary. It’s not that we are unable, but, rather, unwilling, to involve ourselves in such lowly employment.
“I cannot,” in many cases, is “I will not.” It is not a natural disability, but a moral one that keeps us from the grimiest jobs. Jesus, though a King, washed His disciples’ feet. He was more than willing to do the dirtiest and filthiest of jobs. In fact, he didn’t even have to be told to do it; He volunteered. While the disciples were concerned with who among them was the greatest, He took the place of the lowliest.
When you’re too high for a lowly task, you’re too low for a high one.
