Sheer humility

“But when his heart was lifted up and his mind and spirit were hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne and his glory was taken from him.” Daniel 5:20 AMP

Always remember the Why you are where you are; the Who, who got you to where you are; and the How, as in the how you do what you do so well, (your gifts and talents).  God is the one who pours blessings upon you, opens doors of opportunities for you, fills your bank accounts with money, gives you homes that seem like mansions to some, and surrounds people around you who love, adore, and accept you; you, in yourself, have no part of it.

Therefore, always make sure to give the credit where the credit is due – God, and God alone.  If you fail to do so, you may find yourself beginning to take the glory for God’s good works in your life, making it easy for your gloating to become prideful and haughty - and if that happens, then God will remind you, my friend, and sheer humility will be yours to deal with accordingly.
