2 Corinthians 10:17-18 (English Standard Version) “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

When we are looking for work the employer will ask for a résumé. That resume tells what qualifies us for the position we seek. It has to be factual and complete without hyperbole.

Boasting on a résumé is unwarranted and unsound. But we are not talking about our work in the world. We are talking about Kingdom living. We are talking about what the Lord has done.

It is not right to take credit for what the Lord has done. Humility does not put ourselves forward for what the Lord has done in us and through us. When others say “good word” the proper response is “Thank you, praise the Lord.”

At some point there will be words like “What’s the big deal?” The answer to that is the salvation of a lost soul. 

We save no one, that is the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Revelation 19:1  “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,

Does that sound like something that goes on a résumé?

Our problem is in glorifying God without being seen.

How is that working for you?
