Compliments

September 14, 2008

So often when we do something and people thing we do a good job we like to take credit for it. I mean, did we not do all the work? Maybe we went to school and studied heard to be able to do that job. But do we really deserve the credit?

Daniel 2:27-28 UPDV
(27) Daniel answered before the king, and said, The secret which the king has demanded can neither wise men, psychics, sacred scholars, nor astrologers, show to the king;
(28) but there is a God in heaven that reveals secrets, and he has made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

The king said to Daniel I hear you are wise, can you tell me your dream. Daniel could have said, yes, I can. But even though he was in a godless land he knew who gave him the ability to make it through.

How about you? Do you take a compliment as a time to tell others about Jesus? Or do you lap it up for yourself?
