To GOD be the GLORY….

Recently I was talking with a friend and she attributed an accomplishment of mine to someone else. I immediately responded to correct her and ‘gently’ let her know that I had done that. I did not point to God. ‘My’ accomplishment had been born out of prayer and trusting God’s guidance and his empowering – yet, I did not attribute it to Him at all. I needed her to know that I had done that. Ouch! I was immediately convicted, but even still did nothing to point UP.

In today’s passage, David, who had plenty to boast about, is celebrating major victory – the victory in battle described in the previous chapter. The thing is that ALL of the honor and glory and praise go UP – to the Father. David takes no credit. David feels no need to point to himself or pat himself on the back. The victory is all GOD’s. MAJOR VICTORY…

How can WE live this out today?

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it ALL for the glory of God.”
-1 Cor 10:31

How many times do we ask, receive and move on – with no celebration? May we ALL celebrate HIS every victory in our lives!

To GOD be the GLORY…
