In fact, just two Saturdays ago I had to redo a blog post, as God convicted me through Scripture it sounded prideful. One word change made all the difference. Thanks for the reminder today to keep our boasting centered on God and what He's done. Because really, we're nothing more than dust. :-) And without Him, filthy dust at that!jennifer Slatteryhttp://jenniferslatterylivesoutloud.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-58766514673150080612011-11-21T12:55:37.132-05:002011-11-21T12:55:37.132-05:00It's a life-long lesson to learn to do things ...It's a life-long lesson to learn to do things without expecting praise or reward.Yvonne Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08710596077769759997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999930258339428520.post-29457909441462808772011-11-21T10:50:57.231-05:002011-11-21T10:50:57.231-05:00It IS funny that we like to take credit for a gift...It IS funny that we like to take credit for a gift/ability that the Lord gave us, isn't it? Just goes to show how our human nature is extremely self-focused! Love Jeremiah 9:24 and the way it re-focuses us on the Lord - the only One to glory in!

The inner natural craving for recognition while the spirit points our eyes heavenward to acknowledge the One that truly deserves the honor and praise. And of course we all appreciate that pat on the back and word of praise—but I must constantly remind myself to direct that sentiment up toward heaven from "whence cometh my help."
