Mouth
2 Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth;
an outsider, and not your own lips. Proverbs 27:2
Do you ever feel so accomplished
that you think to yourself, man I just did that, I am good? Or are you
an individual who pushes the accomplishment on to someone else so the
spotlight is not on you? I have witnessed several accomplishments this
week, by my children, by others and by myself. I had to stop and think
during and after these periods of accomplishment that none of this was
anything any of us have done. Although I praised my kids externally and
to the community, I failed to praise with my mouth who really
accomplished it. Many times we let our own lips praise ourselves
instead of sitting back humbly and taking the compliments of others, but
I know I also don't praise God quite enough for what He has done. Take
a moment to bask in what God does for you daily, in the small things
and in the big things, and don't let your own mouth praise yourself. Be
humble.
Have a great weekend.
