"But he who boasts is to boast in the Lord. For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends." -II Corinthians 10:17-18 (NASB)
There are times in our lives when we accomplish things that make us proud. There are also times when our loved ones accomplish things that make us proud. It is natural to feel pride, but we must be careful of how we react.
We may feel the urge to boast about "our" accomplishments. When we boast about ourselves, we are taking credit away from God. God has blessed us with talents and opportunities that allow us to many things. In all things, whether small or large accomplishments, we shouldn't boast about ourselves, but we should boast about all that God has blessed us with!
When you feel the urge to boast, boast about God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for all of the blessings in my life and for all that I have and will accomplish. Help me to remember to always give You the credit for these talents, opportunities, and blessings. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
