"Got beauty...got skill...got wisdom?" Deut. 10:21 "He is your praise; he is your God." Our God is most worthy to be praised...This is true in two senses. First, He is the object of our praise; second, He is also the One who makes us praiseworthy...
Any wisdom, beauty, or skill we show is not to our praise - but He is your praise.
I'm quite sure, since man first "started learning" things...it has long been a battle for one to get "PRETTY-FULL-OF-ONE'S SELF"...and what I mean simply is "knowledge tends to puff us up"! God does not want us "puffed up", He wants us "edifying"...or "edify" (to instruct or benefit, especially morally or spiritually; uplift:) The difference between puffs up and edifies is striking; it is the difference between a bubble and a building. Some Christians grow, others just swell! But when we strive to remember, who its from, and who its about...who indeed makes us ourselves praiseworthy....and not simply remembering, but giving Him the Praise....that's when we glorify God!
"Come on now....Praise Him!" "Thank You Lord!"
