Do Not Touch His Glory!!!


Dear Ones,
No doubt, you will have successes in this world such as grades, sports, etc. However, do not take His glory, not even in the small things of life.

Why? He gave them to you. Apart from His grace, they wouldn’t happen. Where did you get your brains and abilities? Him. But, the temptation to steal His glory is powerful. We hunger for glory. So, we must pray and fight against it.

Proverbs 16:19 says:
It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.

In other words, it’s better to fail and remain humble than to succeed and be proud. Being successful and humble is a test which many people fail. If God grants any successes, I’m praying the FF/D will not fail that test, but be humble by His grace alone!

Matthew Henry wisely says:
Humility, though it should expose us to contempt in the world, yet it recommends us to the favor of God, qualifies us for his gracious visits, prepares us for his glory, secures us from many temptations, and preserves the quiet and repose of our own souls.

“There is no limit to what God can do with a man, providing he will not touch the glory.”
