1 Timothy 1"12 NASB "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,"Sometimes we need to give ourselves a good shove rather than a pat on the back! Today's verse shares with us where our strength should come from but too often we think it comes from ourselves! The three men, who were up for the promotion, sat in the lunch room. I could overhear the conversation, two of them felt that they deserved the promotion for what they did for the company. How the company owed them somehow, but the third man just sat quietly, said a little prayer thanking God for the opportunity to work there and waited for the decision to be made. Too often we think we get what we get because of who we are, or what we have done rather than focusing on the fact that we can do what we do because God has allowed His Favor upon us. Rather than boast about us, maybe it's time to boast about Him?! You can guess who got the promotion and why can't you?! peace, tom
