Have you ever experienced something so good, you feel proud? Like a perfect mark on test or exam, or even your parents telling you how proud they are of you? How about the moment you win an award or receive a scholarship? Sometimes, it's so easy to feel proud of ourselves when good things happen to us.
"Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?" [1 Chronicles 17:16b]
When King David realized his overflowing of blessings, he did not swell up in pride, but he thanked the Lord as all good things comes from the Lord. We're tempted everyday to believe it's our own abilities, our own work and our own effort that allowed us to achieve this. When we are blessed, let us remember that God is the only one who brings blessings, not ourselves.

The hand of the Father is behind all good things.
