Boast in the Lord

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1: [31] Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Observation: Sometimes I get arrogant with some of the gifts God has given me. I might compare what I can do, to what others have done and notice how much better I did it. Then I realize there is nothing I can do apart from Christ. Every ability I have and the only reason I’m here comes from God. If I’m able to do anything well it’s because my Lord allows it.

Application: Each day I need to give credit to God for any good that may come from me. When praised by others to point to God who deserves to be praised.

Prayer: My God may I live today in glory to you. May I brag to others about my heavenly Father and all that you have done for me.
