A Timely Reminder

Today's meditation from Daily Bread is taken from 1 Corinthians 3:7

"It’s not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s important is that God makes the seed grow."

Sometimes we tend to think that all our accomplishments are because of what we have done. i.e we've worked so hard, studied so hard or practiced so hard that's why we deserve to be good or successful and to be complimented. I honestly do at times fall into such a trap although it may be masked with feigned humility.

The verse serves as a timely reminder to me that whatever compliments I receive be it about the business or whatever else I've done, is not due to me but clearly and truly due to God. I pray that I will always be reminded of this - that everything IS about God and from God and I am just an instrument in His macro purpose.

All glory and honour to Jesus!
