You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭8‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Give credit where credit is due.

Entitlements are just us grasping for personal meaning and value.

They are the first step at denying God his rightful place in our lives.

Like asking God to take our selfie, pride in our own accomplishments misses the point altogether.

Either all good things originate with God or none of them do.

Cherry picking for our own egos denies the one who allowed the tree to flourish in the first place.

God IS the first place in everything and is the sole source of our prosperity.

Give credit where credit is due.
