Jesus Makes It Happen

Scripture: Acts 3: [16] By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.

Observation: I always wanted to take credit for things and get others approval. Even now I will be helping out at a spaghetti dinner and a father and daughter breakfast and I want to be praised for it. I shouldn’t even be here, after several suicide attempts, but God watched over me. Any ability I have comes from God and anything I own is because God allows me to have it. Anything that I do that might be praiseworthy needs to be directed to the only one that deserves our praise, Jesus.

Application: I need to put myself in place and realize who I am and then remember who Jesus is. I am a lowly servant to the King of Kings and others should know that. I should be giving all the credit to God and humble myself in the face of others and pointing them to my God.

Prayer: Dear Lord forgive me for my arrogance I show in front of people. May I not look for praise, but look for opportunities to give you the praise. Help guide me in anything that I do that is good and show others your love in my deeds.
