“… 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.
