2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Psalm 29:2
Who do you ascribe your success to when you have done something well? Do you pat yourself on the back and say well done on whatever task you complete? When you are sick and get better, do you ascribe your wellness to the doctor or the medicine that you were provided? When you have food on the table, do you ascribe the food to the hardworking person who puts the food on the table? I think we need to shift our view sometimes of who we should ascribe our success, wellness, and bounty to when we are blessed. The Lord should be given thanks for everything we have, get or do in our daily presence. Failure to give thanks to God and His holiness for things we do not deserve, will deepen our separation from him. The other night Debbie and I were talking about the manners of young kids today, and the fact that when someone opens the door for you, do you say thank you or do you just go about your business? The same should be said about our daily successes, we need to thank God for His bountiful blessing and remember it is not us we should be patting on the back. We need to ascribe to the Lord the glory that is due to Him. So, when you are successful, healed, and blessed, thank the almighty God for His blessing.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
