Devotional – April 13, 2012

VERSE:
1 Kings 5:4–But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

TRUTH:
Solomon enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous reign. Why? Not because of his superior leadership skills, but because the Lord gave it to him. Solomon gave God credit for what He did and didn’t try to take the credit for himself. Do we give God credit for the work He does in our lives? Or, do we take the credit for ourselves and rob God of His glory?

RESPONSE:
Father, You have given me everything that I have. Every success is a gift from You and the result of You working in my life.
