Self Promoting

  • an empty pretender, a boaster

Living in this competitive world, especially in big cities, I am forced to be “better” than the next person, in terms of skill, number of friends, money, posession, etc.   Otherwise, how else would I get ahead in my career and recognition?  It’s a rat race that I’m beginning to get tired of.

I don’t want to pretend that I’m much better off than everyone else.  God put me in this world to help others and not to be a self promoter.  A sign of a good leader is not to take credit – let someone else gets the compliments.

God, please remind me to be humble.  Every day.  Amen.

For people will be … contemptuous boasters.

2 Timothy 3:2
