PSALM 115:1 (CEV)
We don’t deserve praise!
The LORD alone deserves
all of the praise,
because of his love
and faithfulness.
ROMANS 12:3 (NLT)
Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Look only to advance the Lord and his agenda.
PRAYER
Lord God, you are the master of the universe, worthy of all attention, yet you take a measured and humble approach to exercising authority. I confess that I slip into using most situations to somehow advance myself. I want people to listen to me -- to take me seriously. I end up making it all about me. Help me to make all things about you. You deserve all praise. Amen.
