Do I Puff or Build

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 8:1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.

Observation: I know when I have knowledge about something that I can get prideful, especially if that knowledge give me leadership over others. So I can use that knowledge to show off or I can use it to help others and build them up.

Application: I have an opportunity each day at work to use my knowledge and assert authority or I can use the opportunity to take the time and show someone. I need to listen more to the people around me and expand my knowledge to draw nearer to others.

Prayer: Dear Lord I thank you for the gifts and talents that You have given me. Show me how to use these in glory and honor to you to build up others and guide them to You.
