Volume 1- Day 2
Scripture: Daniel 4:17 NIV
This decision is announced by messengers, the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of men."
It is so important that we realize that God is to be credited for all the good things of life. No sweet apple owes its sweetness to itself. No swan can boast of its beauty as an accomplishment. All things were created by God and for His pleasure. Although there are special endowments of supernatural abilities from time to time, even natural abilities are traced back to the handiwork of the Creator of all things. Nothing good is the result of haphazard evolution. Everything that works well and looks well is the result of a specific plan, deliberately set in motion by the Almighty in the beginning.
Even Jesus did not credit his innate abilities for the marvelous works He did. Although He knew He was God manifested in the flesh, He gave the Father all credit for the works He performed.
I will daily give God praise for all He does in me, for me and through me.
