Belshazzar gave his gods credit for what Jehovah God had done. I think we are in danger of doing the same things when we toast our own success with words like:
- “That was a lucky break!”
- “I’m so smart!”
- “Look what I have accomplished!”
- “Fortune favors the brave!”
- “I’m glad the ball finally bounced my way!”
This attitude raises a glass to our own accomplishments or the gods of luck and fortune. This attitude forgets God. This attitude grieves God’s heart.
Let’s pay attention to our words and our heart’s attitude that gave birth to those words.
