Year’s ago when I first started preaching, people would say; you really preached. I would say thank you and a church mother got on me about saying thank you. She told me to never say thank you after preaching, lest I forget it was God that gave me the gift of preaching. She told me I was always to say; to God be the glory. That stuck with me over the years and to this day, I say to God be the glory if someone comments on my preaching.
How many of us take credit for what God has done? How many of us say; we are a self-made man or woman? Have we forgotten, if it had not been for the Lord on our side, we’d be in bad shape? Do we think we give ourselves life, health and strength? Let’s not forget how powerful and mighty God is. Let’s not forgot how God delivered us from sin and ourselves. Let’s not forget how God continues to make ways out of no way. Let’s not forget that it was God that gave us the ability to do what we do, to have the talent that we have, and that he gave each of us different gifts.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
