Proclaim God's Greatness

Because you said:" The Nile is mine! I made it!" therefore I am against you and your river and I will utterly destroy the land of Egypt, from Migdol to Syene, as far south as the border of Ethiopia. ( Ezekiel 29:10 ).
The Nile was Egypt's pride and joy, a life-giving river cutting through the middle of the desert. Rather than thanking God however, Egypt declared,"The Nile is mine". We do the same when we say "This house is mine; I built it". or "I have brought myself to the place where I am today". or I have built this church, business, or reputation, from the ground up." These statements reveal our pride. We sometimes take for granted what God has given us, thinking we have made it ourselves. Of course, we have put forth a lot of hard effort, but God supplied the resources, gave us the abilities, and provided us with the opportunities to make it happen. Instead of claiming our own greatness, as the Egyptians did, we should proclaim God's greatness and give him the credit.
Today we continually receiving God's blessing  and grace for our life, enough to say thank you Lord every minute, every hour every day.Are we proclaiming all these things ours? Our God is great.  Its about time to consider the love of God for us is doing all this favor. Why don't we say that to ourselves, to our neighbors so that they will know our God is alive and doing things that is good for us. Proclaim God's Goodness Christians!!!!!!
