"Then we will shout for joy over your victory and celebrate your triumph by praising our God." (Psalms 20.5 GNB)

Hard work, wise thinking, and good relationships are essential in accomplishing things in life. But accomplishment or success or victory of any kind is intoxicating. It deludes me into thinking that I am great, that I am awesome, that I deserve respect, that I am due praise.

I forget why I do what do. To love God and to love others.

Lord,
please help me to always be mindful
that every good thing comes from you alone
please help me to always honour you
and to bring praises to you and only you
