Today's Word: "Put the cross above yourself"

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

"As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died." Galatians 6:14 NLT

TODAY’S WORD

We should always speak with boldness when we are sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.  But, other than that, we need to always demonstrate the humbleness that reflects the God's character.  We should not be filled with boastfulness.  Our main focus should be on Jesus Christ for what he has done on the cross, my old self is dead and new life has formed through Jesus Christ.

Today, remember the cross and recognize Jesus as centerpiece of your life.  If you start boasting about your ability and what you have accomplished in your life, then, you are denying Jesus and putting yourself above him.  Do not put yourself above what Jesus has done for you.  Without him, you cannot be who you are and your achievement may not look good.  Because, the true happiness and achievement comes from him.

Put the cross above yourself.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I will not boast about anything except the cross. Thank you for Jesus and thank you for the gift of salvation. I will live my life to give you a glory. Pray in Jesus' name.
