God is the author of all life, the creator of the universe and everyone–and everything–in it. And ultimately, He is the one who deserves all of the praise. Do you believe that? When you look at your life, your talents, gifts, and successes, do you see God? Or do you only see yourself? It’s human nature to have a prideful heart, but we must not forget the One who has created all things, our God who blesses us beyond measure in ways that only He can. Everything that we have comes from Him alone. As Christians, we are called to glorify God with our lives, uplifting His name, reputation, and who He is out of gratitude for His great love and sacrifice on our behalf. We need to have the humility to learn greater godliness from anyone, and remember how great it was, and always will be, to be saved by our gracious God.
