BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 6:1-2

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

MESSAGE:

As a child of God, you have been commanded not to be boastful but to be humble. Do not brag about yourself to people because this can lead to envy and hate. A mouth that sings his/her own praise will be brought down. Thus, let Your results sing your praise, not you doing so yourself.

Do your best and let others do the praising. As a student, your excellent results will announce you, not bragging about how intelligent you are. Boastfulness is a pitfall you must avoid because it will make you think you are better than every other person. Those who boast can sometimes get into trouble especially when they boast of the things they don’t have or cannot do. The trouble comes when they are asked to show/do what they boasted about.

My beloved child, there is only one acceptable kind of boast – boasting about Christ. Apostle Paul said: “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord,” (1 Corinthians 1:31) because He will lift you high when you do.

KEY POINT:

Never blow your trumpet; let your results do.

HYMN 5 – TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

Take my life and let it

Consecrated Lord to Thee

Take my moment and my days

Let them flow ceaseless praise.

Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for thee

Take my voice and let me sing

Always only for my king;

Take my lips and let them be

Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my sliver and my gold

Not a mite would I withhold

Take my intellect, and use

Every power as thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine,

It shall no longer mine:

Take my heart, it is Thine own;

It shall be Thy royal throne,

Take my love, my Lord, I pour

At Thy feet its treasure store;

Take myself, and I will be

Ever, only, all for thee

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 8-9
