Who Am I Bragging About?

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10 [17] But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Observation: Sometimes I daydream about doing great things for the Lord and there seems to come a moment when either I can take the credit or make sure the credit goes to God. Unfortunately the majority of the time I receive the credit. I do want to do what is right and glorify God and it is a wonderful feeling when I’m in God’s will, but there are those moments when I get praised for what I do and I receive it instead of giving the glory where it belongs.

Application: I need to continue to do God’s will, but for his glory and not my pride. My satisfaction must come from pleasing God and not men and to lead a humble life that people desire to have and then point to God as my strength. From apart from Him I can do nothing but I can do all things through Him.

Prayer: My Father you are worthy of all that I am, all my obedience, praise and worship. May you use me to lead others to you and that you would take this pride from me and humble me before you.
