“If I wanted to boast, I would be no fool in doing so, because I would be telling the truth. But I won’t do it, because I don’t want anyone to give me credit beyond what they can see in my life or hear in my message.”
In today’s scripture, Paul tells the people of Corinth that he accepts no credit for his work. He admits that he could indeed boast about the work he’s doing for the Lord, but what good would it do if he received the credit. Paul wanted to make sure that all credit went to Jesus Christ for the purpose over his life and the message God gave him.

Like Paul, you are doing some awesome things in life. And because in Christ you live, move and have all your being, I’m sure you want to give Him all the credit. You don’t have to wait for the big events of life – delivered from illness or saved your life in a car incident. You can give God credit for waking you up this morning. You can give God credit for your job, warm bed, breakfast or retirement. The important thing is to recognize it’s all because of God. And when you live this idea, everyone will notice a change and so will you.
Christ did it all.

Heavenly Father, I choose not to boast about my accomplishments, but instead give You all the credit and honor. I want others to know that all I have and all I do is because of You, Lord. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
This is my prayer
