GIFTS
I Corinthians 4:6-7
"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that you may learn in us not to think beyond what is written, than none of you may be puffed up on behalf of one against the other. For what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?"
All boasting is misplaced when I remember that everything I have and everything I am has been bestowed on me as a gift from God. Do I have some special talent? Do I have some degree of intellect? Do I enjoy some success? Am I blessed financially? I can take no credit because they are all a gifts that I have received from God. I am only a recipient of His grace. As the songs says, "All that I am or every hope to be – all the glory belongs to Him." What a wonderful God I serve!
TODAY'S THOUGHT: There is no room for boasting when I understand that whatever I have is a gift from God.
Have a thankful day. Love you.
