Good Morning Sunshine! God Did It!

1 Corinthians 4:7 ~ “For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?”

What makes you different from anybody else? Nothing, but Jesus, you are a sinner saved by the Grace of God!

The Word of God is a constant reminder of this very simple and profound thing and it’s for all of us, no one is excluded, every good thing about you is from God, and there is nothing good about you that God didn’t do!

What have you given to yourself? Absolutely Nothing! Everything that you have is a gift that comes from God, starting with this new day that you have received, next is the breath that you are breathing, the ability to see, hear, walk, talk, touch and be touched everything is from God and Him alone! You have nothing to boast about.

Whatever you have, your Father gave it to you, if God hadn’t called you to be a servant you would not know how to serve, if He hadn’t called you to be a follower you wouldn’t know how to lead, if He hadn’t called you to that struggle, you wouldn’t be a prayer warrior today! Some of you are so talented and you have worked so hard to perfect it and to cultivate your gift, (you went to school, to have a great career, or you are an actress or singer and you have spent many hours practicing and working hard at being great at it) but, who gave you the mind to do it, who woke you up, who nourished you, who strengthened you when you were tired, and who kept you in perfect peace? Jesus Christ did it, for without Him you can do nothing! Again, I say, everything you have comes from God! Nothing in you comes from you! Nothing good is in you!

If you know that nothing good comes from you, why do you boast as if everything that you have come from you? You need to have a slice of humble pie; humbleness will transform your life and help you to know and appreciate your Heavenly Father! Humbleness also removes pride from you and how you see you, to how God sees you!

So, what makes you different from someone else? You have put down your pride and picked up Jesus Christ and you are obedient to His Holy Word; this is the difference maker! This is what distinguishes you from the non-believer, you are basking in His Presence and not boasting in your abilities!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You. Thank You for getting me past my pride and straight into Your Presence! Father, I pray for all of Your children, that we will lay our wants down and desire Your perfect Will. Father, thank You for the gifts that You have given me, for I know that every good thing in me is from You and it’s for a purpose, help me to be obedient and diligent as I walk in what You say! Father, strengthen me on my journey and as I study and work let it all be done with You in my mind and no matter how I excel in a gift or talent let me always give You, Your Honor that is do to You! Father, help me to always realize that everything good in me comes from you, and that nothing good in me apart from You!

Blessings…
