Have you ever had one of those associates, whether it be a boss, a coworker, a friend, etc., that will take the credit for whatever good thing is done. I know that I have been around enough people, and I have probably been that person from time to time, that will take all the credit for something that is not theirs to take.
One prime example I like to give to the "kids" is that of professional athletes. I am amazed at what some professional athletes can do. Some of my amazement may stem from the fact that I gave mediocrity a new name - sub par. Anyway, I am amazed at how these professional athletes can do amazing feats and, then, take credit for it all.
Don't get me wrong, I know they work really hard and train really hard but they have some GOD-given abilities that others don't have. How can they take credit for something that Someone gave them? They do seem to do it so easily. Not pointing fingers, though, because, as I said, I have been a credit hog myself.
Today's word comes from Psalm 115:1, NIV, which reads, "Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be glory, because of Your love and faithfulness."
We can't take credit for the good things that GOD has just given us. Can we? It is easy to get wrapped up in ego and me, mine, my but the truth of the matter is that GOD has given us many good things because He loves us and is faithful to fulfill His promises.
LORD, forgive me for taking credit for anything that You have done. I know that it is because of Your great love for me that I am what I am and that I have what I have and that one day I will spend eternity in Heaven with You. Not because of anything I have done but because of Your great love!
Be Blessed,
