Today’s Prayer
Do not exalt yourself in the king’s presence,
and do not claim a place among great men; it
is better for him to say to you, "Come up
here," than for him to humiliate you before a
nobleman. Proverbs 25:6,7
Father, thank You for my achievements
which I know are due to Your graciously
blessing me with abilities and opportunities.
Amen.
