Friday, August 29 He that is humble in spirit will take hold of glory.— Prov. 29:23. It may be that we are progressing toward Christian maturity but a fellow believer counsels us. His honest observations could help us if we do not raise a defensive shield because of pride, the desire to save face, or the temptation to justify our course. Or suppose you are working on a project with a fellow believer. Will your collaboration be influenced by concern over who gets the credit for your good ideas and hard work? Overseers and those “reaching out” for such an office should likewise beware of seeking praise from men. ( 1 Tim. 3:1; 1 Thess. 2:6) How should a brother respond when he receives sincere commendation for a job well done? Does he readily recognize that his achievement was possible only by Jehovah’s undeserved kindness and that any hope for future success still depends on God’s blessing and help?— 1 Pet. 4:11. w13 2/15 4:10, 11
