"Remember the Lord your God...he who gives you the ability to produce wealth..." Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV
We are nothing without the abilities, health, personalities that God has given us. Some people have sharp minds and lots of energy and that enables them to become successful in the world, probably admired by those around them. We pride ourselves on our talents, our good looks, our jobs, our wealth and yet it is only because of the way God made us that we have those things. We need to be grateful, not proud, and ask God how we should be using the gifts he has given us so that we can further his kingdom and benefit others. We need to remember the Lord, the Creator and Giver of all life. Then the love we have for God and other people will grow.
Lord, get rid of the pride I have about my gifts. When I am enjoying the blessings in my life, let me always remember that all good things come from you. Thank you, for being a generous provider. Help me to emulate your spirit.
