Good morning! How are we faithing? The thankfulness we have for the things in our lives can become idols if we are not careful. Haven't you seen people who treat the church as God? Have you noticed we can idolize our jobs? Our kids? Our stuff? Man o man that's a dangerous row to hoe. Wisdom teaches that there is none other than God that is worthy of our praise. Of course we encourage others to do better and to strive to become successful at their endeavours but taking that praise to heart is where humble flies out the window. When we think ourselves great we can step into a dangerous place. I know what I'm good at and where I suck. I also remember that the talents I have came from God therefore encouragement and accolades that I get get handed over to God. Yes I am pleased as you are when a pat comes but don't ever forget to thank and praise our Lord for the talents he gave us. Just think a bout this honestly and act appropriately.
Rom 1:20-21
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Pro 3:13-17
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
