LET GOD GET THE GLORY
The miracle didn’t end with a healed man. It ended with worship.
When God works through us, the goal isn’t for people to notice us. It’s for people to notice Him.
The lame man became living evidence of God’s goodness. His joy overflowed into praise, and everyone who saw him was amazed at what God had done.
As we offer God our time, compassion, gifts, and faith, He uses those simple acts of obedience to help others experience His love.
One of my greatest joys in ministry has been watching God work through ordinary people. I’ve seen someone who was nervous about volunteering become the first to welcome a stranger. I’ve watched people who thought they had little to offer become faithful mentors, prayer partners, and encouragers. Their confidence didn’t come from having all the answers; it came from simply saying yes. Over time, it became clear that the story wasn’t about them at all. It was about what God could do through willing hearts.
When we simply say yes, God receives the glory.
The greatest miracle isn’t that people notice us; it’s that they leave noticing Jesus.
Prayer: Jesus, may everything I give point others back to You. Let my life tell the story of Your goodness. Amen.
