Do Not Boast

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast works through the whole batch of dough?

Observation: I need to be more careful on my boasting. For instance when I talk about an event we do at church I’ll reference the part I did or indicate all the things that I did and not the whole group. When talking to someone they might think that it was my idea, instead of God’s. This little bit of information can change the way people think of the event and I do this constantly bringing all the wonderful things I do, instead of giving credit where credit is do.

Application: Realize I have nothing to boast about. The only reason I can do anything is because God has given me that ability and has allowed me to do it. Give credit to others and build them up, encouraging them to do more for the Kingdom. Humble myself before others and God.

Prayer: Dear Lord humble your servant before you. Guide me on how to live this life in glory and honor to you. Touch my heart and open my eyes to your desires.
