TOOTING OUR OWN HORNS

 
 
2 Corinthians 10:18

 

"For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends." ESV

 

It is human nature to want others to know about our special gifts and abilities. This thing is, human nature is infected with pride. Calling attention to our abilities does nothing for the kingdom of God, or to draw others to Him. Just living for the moments and opportunities to use our gifts, being obedient, practicing them without fanfare, is when the Lord will acknowledge us. Then others will know we have gifts and abilities and that they are God given.

 

Heavenly Father, search our hearts for the pride that hides here, so that we will not lift ourselves up, but rather give us humble and obedient hearts. Then, if it is Your will to lift us up, You will be glorified and others will be brought into Your kingdom. We praise You and pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
