"A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything." Those are the words of Malcolm X, and what a powerful statement.
Today, everyone’s opinion is right in his own eye—each claiming to be his own king, judge, and jury.
This isn't new and it's not a surprise to God. As a matter of fact, the Bible warns us of this and teaches that men will become lovers of themselves, unthankful, and prideful.
Psalms 115:1 reminds us of this, Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth.
This scripture reference affirms that men tend to honor and magnify their own meager accomplishments while failing to acknowledge God's wonderfully amazing works.
Regardless of our earned degrees, personal talent, and abilities to create and build, at best every accomplish pales in comparison to God's. As a matter of fact we should thank Him for enabling and empowering us to achieve success at anything and everything.
Stand and take a look at nature—flowers, trees, lands and seas. God did that!
Stand and take a look at the atmosphere—the sky, clouds, sun, moon and stars. God did that!
Stand and take a look at the animal world—some on the earth others under the earth, some at sea while others fly above. By pure instinct they exist in concert of each other. God did that!
Stand and take a look at the human body—the heart, mind, spirit, soul all working together in miraculous efforts to move, grow, and have its being. God did that!
Recognize that it’s not about us and our trite success and remember that God did that!
Stand up for God... Stand up for Truth…
Stand Up and Give God the Glory!
