LET GOD DO THE LIFTING
“Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.” Proverbs 27:2 NKJV
There is a quiet strength in the life that refuses to self-promote. The world has become obsessed with platforms, applause, and constant announcements, but the kingdom way looks very different. God calls us to live with such integrity, humility, and consistency that any praise spoken of us comes naturally, from his heart through others, not from ourselves.
Self-promotion often grows from insecurity, but true confidence is birthed in identity. When you know who you are in Christ, you no longer need to convince others. You don’t need to fight for recognition or rush to justify yourself. The Lord sees, the Lord weighs, and the Lord brings honor in His time.
Scripture teaches that promotion is neither from the east nor the west, but that God Himself is the Judge. He lifts one up and brings another down. When you rest in that truth, you learn to let your work speak for you, your character carry you, and your God establish you.
Let your life be the testimony. Let your faithfulness be the sermon. And let your humility keep your heart pure while God writes your story in front of others.
Prayer: My Father, I thank you that you are the One who lifts, affirms, and establishes me. Guard my heart from pride or greed, and teach me to walk in humility and divine confidence. Let my life reflect your glory so that any honor I receive points back to you, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
