Remain Unnamed

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a journal with you that I wrote this week. It's short and sweet, but it stuck with me, and reminded me to stay humble! I hope that it blesses and challenges you as well.

S – “...that the LORD sent a prophet to the children of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage;” – judges 6:8

O – The Lord sent “a prophet”. A prophet. This prophet remains unnamed.

A – God sent a prophet to the people because He had a word for them. But this prophet wasn’t a person of any reputation. He didn’t even make history, or get his name in the Bible. At first I thought, “C'mon, God. If youre gonna use this guy, at least give his name a little space of fame in the Word.”
We always want all the credit for what we do. We want our name in lights, we want the fame, and we want everyone to know just how great we are. This prophet was a man used by the very God who created all things, yet was unnamed for what he did. In fact, it doesn’t matter what we do because it’s not about us. No matter what happens, I have to remember that what I do is only for GODS glory not mine!

P – Lord, remind me to be humble, and remind me that its not about me!! Thank you, I love you!

Be blessed everyone!
