I have to admit that I can be downright cocky. I have probably mentioned before that I trash talk playing horseshoes. I mean, I am competitive and I love to win. Now, in my life, I have had my share of losing, which has taught me how to lose but, I can be really cocky.
However, my cockiness is a lot of show. I like to win, I don't like losing, but I am not an "in your face" type of person. If I ever win anything, it is because GOD has designed it and a lot of other people have aided in it. There are very few things I can think of in my life that I can take full credit for, very few victories anyway.
Today's word is a quote from B.R. Jensen that says, "The humble, serving heart is GOD'S home - from there His caring love can touch the world."
I have a really hard time deciphering the message of some athlete that is saying, "I praise GOD," then, goes on to say, "I am the greatest player out there. No one can stop me." Now, are they really praising GOD or themselves? Wouldn't it be refreshing to hear some athlete or musician or singer or some celebrity say, "I praise GOD for allowing me to be such a small part in His plan, and especially for saving my soul and adopting me into His family."
No one stands alone. We all have others to thank, in one way or another, for helping us become who we are. We especially have to give credit for all good things to GOD. It is when we allow ourselves to be humble that others will see the true love of GOD. I need to work on that cockiness...
Be Blessed,
