Arrogant!

After Hannah's prayer was answered by God, she said in 1 Samuel 2:3, "Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."

How often are we arrogant in our words?! Quite often, I'm afraid. After Hannah was brought to the lowest point in her life and humbled in front of everyone, God answered her prayer. She then had the proper response by giving HIM all the credit for what was done.

There have been times when God answered my prayers, and I took credit for it. By keeping silent about what God did is the same thing as taking credit for it. It seems that in times like these, the blessings cease.

There are other times when I had the proper response and gave God the credit for what was accomplished, and it's an amazing thing...God blessed even more!

Remember what Hannah said - God weighs your actions...let's not be arrogant about what HE has done!
