How To Take A Compliment..

When someone gives you praise for something, how do you react...? Do You humbly accept the praise with a thank You, or do you revel in your own Glory...?

Remember to give God all the praise and glory. Everything we accomplish is because of Him and through Him. All the resources we have are His resources. Even our very lives were gifts from God. He breathed the breath of life into our bodies. Without the Lord Jesus Christ we wouldn't even be here.

Nothing is our own, not even the compliments that man gives us.

Dear Lord,

I humbly deflect all the praise, honor, and glory to You, My King. You are Lord of the Universe. You are my personal Lord and Savior. I realize that every moment of my existence is a precious gift from You. Nothing I have, nothing I have accomplished is of me. It's all You, Jesus...!

My Heavenly Father, I love You. I give this day to You. I am in Your service. I thank You for my blessings and opportunities to make a difference in the lives of others today.

Father today I'd like to lift up the family or individual you are preparing to buy our house in Houston. I know they are out there and eventually the time will be right for that house to sell. We leave it it You capable hands, Lord. Help us be patient and wait on You.

Dear Lord I'd also like to lift up my sweet wife today as she travels to Houston for a business meeting. Keep her safe Lord and bless her meeting, Father.

Lastly Lord I'd like to lift up my place of employment today. There are very few Christians present in my workplace. Help me Father to be salt and light in the darkness. Season my words. May I be extremely thoughtful in my actions. I pray that everyone can see the You in Me.

Lord Jesus, I pray these things in Your Holy Name, Amen.
