“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. (Isa 55:8-11 NIV)

Prayer: LORD, if I become proud of my accomplishments, remind me that all I have is from You. I can only give You what You first gave me–and this is nothing I should boast about. Enable me to grow in our relationship and always see myself from Your perspective. Do whatever You need to do in my life to make it so. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
