Well, if a believer is "all about God" and intent upon "doing the Lord's work," then what's wrong with letting others know all about what we've achieved?
Do not keep talking so proudly
or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
and by him deeds are weighed.
The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
- 1 Samuel 2:3-4
For this is what the LORD says:
"You were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed."
"You were sold for nothing,
and without money you will be redeemed."
- Isaiah 52:3
The illusion of self-importance attempts to lessen and draw attention away from our Saviour ... who's most important of all.
In your majesty ride forth victoriously
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
in behalf of truth, humility and righteousness;
let your right hand display awesome deeds.
- Psalms 45:4
When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
but with humility comes wisdom.
- Proverbs 11:2
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
- Philippians 2:3
