We all often or rarely in our lives be proud of our achievements or abilities. At least there may be few occassions when we thought that...this is done because of me... or.... I have managed to do it because I am able...or... without me it would have been impossible....I have the ability to do so.....I am qualified to do it....I have such and such degree, position or job and I am above some of you...and so on and so on. Knowingly or unknowingly we boast of ourselves, atleast we boast in our minds. This is the pride....that enters into our minds and this pride is a sin that is sawed by the devil. The devil is a deceiver and he makes the people think that to be proud of what we are is not a sin. Definitiely it is a sin as Jesus repeatedly tells us in the Bible.
When someone say or think all these boastfulness, they should stop for a minute and ask a question to themselves....WHAT IF?...What if they were not given these abilities? What if they had some mental of physical disabilities? What if they suffer from serious diseases and unable to do what they boast off? Surely God has given them these abilities and strengths to do the task they do....but we forget the fact that God has gifted us with these abilities. God provides, and man take advantage of it without saying thanks to God and be submissive to Him.
Dear friends, we need to be sorry for the times we have boasted about our own abilities. No human can alone achieve anything...unless it is being given by God. God has a definite plan for each and everyone of us. If God has given us something or gifted us with something, we have the obligation to be thankful and return to God with tenfolds. Our abilities will multiply when we do that and God will grant us more gifts so that we may utilise those God-given gifts fot the service of God and to serve the mankind.
Let us Pray to God that He may shower his abundant blessings upon us and we may ever remain faithful to Him and remain in His love and share the love of God to our neighbours by abiding in the word of God.
