God-made, Not Self-made

"Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You. I said to the Lord, 'You are my Lord; I have no good besides You.'" -Psalms 16:1-2 (NASB)
Sometimes the hardest step in our personal, professional, or spiritual growth can be asking for help.  We may focus on doing it on our own or being a self-made man or woman.  Our strong determination can be beneficial, but there are tomes when it can hold us back.  If we look around us, we see that even our leaders that claim to be "self-made" are often surrounded with advisers and supporting staff. 

When we find ourselves trying to do it all on our own, we can remember the words of the Psalmist.  We can ask God to protect or preserve us and we can find refuge in God.  We can also realize that the good in us and in our lives comes from God.  God is the greatest adviser we can have in our lives.  We can't take credit for our lives or claim to be self-made, but we can (and should) give all the glory to,God for everything we are and have in our lives!

Even when you want to claim to be self-made, remember you are something greater: God-made!


Prayer:

Dear God-
Thank You for making me all that I am.  Please continue to protect me and allow me to show others the goodness of being God-made.  In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
