Scripture: John 5: [44] How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God? <\/p>\n
Observation: All of my life I wanted to please someone whether it was my parents, friends employers or just the people around me. I wanted people to recognize me and praise me for the things I could do, but if there is anything that I can do that is praise worthy, I\u2019m only able to do it because of my God. Anything at all that is good in me comes from my heavenly Father and I have no right to boast about anything, unless I boast about my Father.<\/p>\n
Application: As soon as people see something in me that is praiseworthy I need to point to God. If I\u2019m allowed to touch anyone\u2019s life for the better God needs to get all the credit. I want God to see me as a man after His own heart, like David. God deserves all of my praise, obedience and glory.<\/p>\n
Prayer: Dear father I thank you for all that I have and all that I am. I thank you for making me, me and I ask you to show me how to be the best that I can be. I\u2019m here as your servant, show me how to serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
