The Strength God Provides
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober
mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love
covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without
grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve
others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone
speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone
serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things
God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the
glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:7-11
When praise is heaped on you for some reason, why not turn it
around and give that praise where it is due? Give the praise back to God, where
it belongs.
To learn humility, follow the example of others in the Bible and
in today’s world who have given of their all, for God’s glory.
If you receive a compliment for something you said or did,
privately give that praise back to God for the glory He alone deserves.
Praise is the fairest blossom which
springs from the soul.
