Be Quick to Give God the Credit

Joel Osteen

Scripture says, “Before honor comes humility.” The higher God takes us, the more humility we have to walk in. That means you may have seen God’s blessings and favor in your life in incredible ways, but never forget where the favor is coming from. It’s not just our gifts, our education or our hard work that got us where we are; it is God’s favor. If we’re going to continue to see God’s favor and goodness, we have to be quick to give Him the credit. We were never created to contain glory; we were created to give God glory. The more God promotes us, the more grateful we should be. If you will stay small in your own eyes and always stand in amazement of what God has done and realize that He has given you the gifts, the talents, the ideas; then God will continue to take you higher and higher. There is no limit to how high God will take you if you will stay small in your own eyes and always be quick to give God the credit.
