Giving God All the Glory
Acts 14:11-15; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
When the crowds attempted to worship Paul and Barnabas, their response was immediate and dramatic—they tore their clothes in distress. They refused even a moment's consideration of accepting glory that belonged to God alone. How easily we subtly steal God's glory! We take credit for our children's successes, our career achievements, our talents, and even our spiritual growth. We act as if we're self-made, forgetting that every breath is a gift. Paul's example challenges us to radical humility. When complimented, do we deflect praise to God, or do we bask in it? When blessed, do we acknowledge the Giver? Today, practice saying "To God be the glory" not just with your lips, but with your heart. Recognize that any good in your life flows from His grace, not your merit.
