‘I FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended
to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being
endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday
morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless
Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely
wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our
daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the
reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

TAKING CREDIT FOR THE FAITHFULNESS OF OTHERS – SUNDAY THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

May 25, 2024
Christian     Thought For The Day



In 2 Corinthians 10:16 the Apostle Paul writes: “…and not to boast in another
man’s line of things made ready to our hand.” (KJV)  This is a dangerously bad
habit that we can fall into if we aren’t careful.  Let me explain.


Many years ago as I was preparing for the ministry, a Christian friend asked me
to visit his family member who was in a hospital near me.  I gladly went and as
it turned out, his family member prayed with me to accept the Lord during my
visit with him.  To this day, I remember feeling very full of myself as I stood
in the kitchen of our home later that day, patting myself on the back for
leading the man to the Lord.

In the midst of my self-congratulatory party, I was humbled when the Lord made
me to realize that He had answered my Christian brother’s many years of prayer
for his family member to be saved.  I had been boasting myself “…in another
man’s line of things made ready to [my] hand.”  I could not have felt more
ashamed.  I have never forgotten that humbling lesson.

My friend had faithfully labored, witnessing and praying for his family member
many years and God had used me to answer the prayers of his labors in what was
his family member’s final days of life.

I was guilty of taking credit for what the Lord had done in answer to the
faithful labors of another person.  I didn’t realize it until the moment the
Holy Spirit convicted me.  It was a sobering lesson.

In Jeremiah 17:9 we read: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?” (KJV)  We must be aware of how deceitful
and desperately wicked our hearts are.  We must guard ourselves against it at
all times.  We often without thinking about it take credit for what God has
done, specifically in answer to the labors and prayers of others.  It is never
what we have done, but always what God has done and often what He has done using
us in answer to another’s labors.

If we’re not careful, our hearts will lead us to seemingly give God the praise,
when in reality we are praising ourselves.  My brothers and sisters in Christ,
let us be careful to not take credit for the work of others, but rather let us
thank God for the faithful labors of another, in which we are blessed to play a
small part.

READ:

2 Corinthians 10:12-18 (KJV)

12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some
that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and
comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the
measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even
unto you.

14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not
unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of
Christ:

15 Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men’s labours;
but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you
according to our rule abundantly,

16 To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another
man’s line of things made ready to our hand.

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

So guilty. Thank-you for the wonderful reminder to not become prideful or vain

Granted, Letitia James (Attorney General of New York), Fani Willis (District
Attorney Fulton County Georgia), Ilhan Omar (D-Mn) and the Obama woman) are
lowest hanging fruit when it comes to ghastly examples of role models for the
fabric of Americans who view melanin content as the summum bonum, i.e., the
greatest good/the ultimate importance. Notwithstanding ...
