Legendary

There is absolutely nothing like an election to find out that some people think very highly of themselves. Yes, there are those who are not politicians that do as well, but, you have to admit that those running for office really like to talk about themselves (and their opponent).

Now, don't get me wrong, there is no better way for me to know who you are and what you stand for other than for you to tell me. Actually, there is - show me. But, we listen to the rhetoric in order to try and gain a better understanding of the character of those seeking a seat. And, boy can they boast...

Today's word is about our boasting. 2 Corinthians 10:18, NIV, reads, "For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the LORD commends."

Today's word tells us it is not about what we say about ourselves that is important. What is important is what GOD says about us. There are a lot of people who like to tell you all about themselves but what would GOD say about them, I wonder. The truth is the same for us all - GOD knows who we really are, He knows how we got to where we are, He knows how we gained what we have, He knows the real us.

My prayer today is that I will be more concerned about what GOD knows I am than about what I think I am. Because, all I really want to be is GOD'S child, doing His thing, being faithful and obedient. I may never be anything by this world's standards, and that will be fine. It's not about me; it's about Him.

Be Blessed,
