Giving God The Credit

Scripture Judges 3:28 Then he said to them, “Follow me, for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they went down after him, seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.

Observation: Ehud the leader at this time could have taken the credit for what God had done, but did what was right and gave God the glory. How many times during the course of the day do we take credit for what God has done in our lives. He has given us all of our abilities and talents also the opportunities, but when we are in front of others do we give God the glory or do we take the credit ourselves? I know for myself it is too hard at times not taking the credit to impress others when it wasn’t me at all but God working through me. We’re here to honor, obey, praise and give God the glory, how are you doing?

Application: There is nothing I can do apart from God and even though I realize it others around me must realize it also. Anything good that comes from me is from God, if I bear fruit it is only because God is guiding me. I need to give Him all of the glory and worship Him with this life He has given me, May I always glorify my Lord to everyone around me.

Prayer: Oh my Lord take this pride from me and show me how to point others to you. I’m here as your servant only and your representative in a fallen world. Use me for your glory. May I be a good advertisement for your love.
