Pride and false, futile glory

“… The Lord, the God of hosts, says: I abhor, reject, and despise the pride and false, futile glory… “ Amos 6:8 AMP

God despises pride and selfish proclaimed glory!  If you are a child of God and you live and breathe for Him, then there is no need to brag of yourself; your life already shines with His glory!  Therefore, if you find yourself constantly patting your own back, bragging on your personal accomplishments, then zip it, and ask yourself if you are haughty and prideful. If you find you are, repent of it, have the determination to change, and ask God for His mighty help – He’ll come running to your aid.

As a child of God there is no need to brag about ourselves, He shines ever so brightly through us, and His light needs no bragging.  Nonetheless, we sometimes get so caught up into our own-selves that it blocks His light from shining through. So, just remember to keep God first and foremost! Give Him all the glory, and the shining light He brings into your life will speak immensely into the hearts and minds of others – no words necessary.
