Who do you work for? I work for God, Freedom Baptist Church and the Betty Griffin House so my work is somewhat different than most. Humility is a little harder to seek and acquire in this setting.
I have friends who work for different companies, automotive shops, air condition companies, banks, and so on. You work for a company and when you work for that company who gets the glory for your accomplishments?
Football teams play, the players come together and work hard and hopefully become a family. Then soon after that they win and accomplish great things, but in the end it's the coach that gets the majority of the glory. And in most circumstances whether in the business world, or sports arena we are okay with that. We are okay with the fact that we work our fingers to the bone, and our bosses get the credit. We're okay that we practice, work out, eat right, take care of our bodies and our coaches get the credit. Why is it then, that when great things happen in our lives that we know are not under our complete control we hog the glory?
We do it, even when we don't openly admit it. There were times when in youth ministry things would go really great, we would look back and try to decide what we did to make that happen. Or when I had great things happen to me financially, or physically or so on. I immediately start trying to decide what I had done to make that happen. When in reality we should start out our endeavors, jobs what have you with God in mind.
1 Corinthians 10:31 says, So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. DO everything you do right down to the bare essentials to the glory of God and things will put themselves into place.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
