Giving credit where it is due...
1 Ezra 4:58-59 (1 Esdras LXX)
Now when the young man went out, he lifted his face to heaven toward Jerusalem and blessed the King of heaven, saying, “The victory and the wisdom are from You, the glory is Yours, and I am Your servant."
Personal Challenge...
Am I this willing to claim that all of my successes and accomplishments are not of my own doing, but from the Lord? I can do nothing on my own. I can accomplish nothing on my own without becoming prideful about it. Part of growing to be like Christ is giving all credit to the Father for what He has done and for His willingness to use me.
