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.
