God can use our authority and our abundance and our promotion. With authority comes the need for accountability. With popularity comes the need for humility. With prosperity comes the need for integrity.
From James 4:10: “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.”

Wow, I love this–important words: accountability, humility, integrity. On any given day I have one or more of these working for me…does that sound like boasting? because I don’t intend it that way. I’m well aware that if I do/say anything right on any day, God gets the glory–the Holy Spirit’s doing His job of transforming me little by little 🙂 Blessings to you<3

Thank you — I just borrowed the quote to add to my blog I posted this morning. It is called Jesus as Ghost but there is a part in there about what is required of us if we get “big” in the world’s eyes.
THANK YOU
Have a great weekend.
