Our Scripture reading today is 2 Corinthians 10:17-18, "But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
The world in which we live finds glory in the temporal. Whatever will make them
happy in the moment is what they seek to obtain. This is not surprising because
these individuals do not know the Lord. They are simply following what makes
them feel good. The sad truth is that many people who claim to know the Lord
are living the exact same way. Their day to day choices do not show that they
glory in the Lord.
We need to be willing to die to self and be led by God's Spirit. When this happens,
our decisions will be made with eternity in view. The dreams and ambitions of
our life will be centered around what bring God glory and not ourselves.
