Boasting
I don't want to brag.
End of sentence. Usually, that phrase is followed with self praise over something. Which sometimes, isn't a bad thing. It is good to express our pride in something accomplished, but there is a fine line between our sense of accomplishment and just plain obnoxious pride. In the Bible, Paul tells us that if we're going to brag about anything, it should be about God. 1 Corinthians 1:31
My last blog was about being bold in God and in his will. As I said, being bold can be addictive. It is such a rush! However, I have to check myself because I am quick to brag. I want to share what God is doing through me, but I pray that God search my heart for any pride. It is a fine line. So I have to be very careful. I need to remember my condition before God. That I am dust. Here today, gone tomorrow. Anything I do, whether great or small, if I do it with any light of righteousness, it is only because of the grace of God in me. I am nothing. I am full of faults and have many things that need tuning up.
So I pray: I don't want to brag.
