Don't lower your standards for anyone or anything. You are the child of a King. You are royalty. You are the head. You are a leader. You are a boss. You are quality. Hold your head up, but don't ever look down on anyone. Remember, moving in silence doesn't give God the glory. This is how I look at it; people don't want to announce blessings on the way in fear; it might not happen. Well, if you genuinely believe that God is blessing you with whatever, who can take it away. Any favored thing I have, I know God has brought it to me, and I will be happy, announce it and give God the glory.
Always give God praise before, during, and after.
Isaiah 43:13 (NIV)
Yes, and from ancient days I am he.
No one can deliver out of my hand.
When I act, who can reverse it?”
Isaiah 43:13 (NLT)
“From eternity to eternity I am God.
No one can snatch anyone out of my hand.
No one can undo what I have done.”
John 10:29 (ESV)
My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.
" I am going to announce every praise I have because God gave it to me. Even if the devil knows about it, he isn't mightier than God. I will have whatever favored thing God wants me to have." - Alston Shropshire
