Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON GLORIES IN CHRIST
Reading: Romans 15:17-22
Romans 15:17 (NIV)
Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.
What do you glory of? Is it something birthed out of self, or what God did through you? Can you have something to boast of in the Lord? These are questions we must answer each day.
There may be many things to be proud of, seeing the success and progress in our lives, but those things should not be vainglory. Your glory should not always be in what God is doing through others; but what He is doing through you.
Beloved, you must know that it is not sinful to be proud of what God has done through you, in that you are giving God the praise He deserves. It becomes a sin when we attribute what God is doing through us to ourselves. Let us glory in the Lord for His great works done in us and through us.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Everlasting Father, we give You all the glory. Lord God, may we never boast in ourselves, but in You for Your great works in us and through us, in Jesus' name. Amen.
