Today's devotion (2/23/07): Romans 1:25

"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator..." Romans 1:25, NIV

While we might not do it intentionally, how often do we neglect to give God the praise and glory that is rightly His? We instead give other people, things and ourselves the glory for what is created by our own hands... while every good and perfect gift comes from Him. There is a lie the over-achiever tells him/herself subconsciously after a job well-done... that he/she is the one responsible. It is important to stop and recognize that without Him, nothing is possible-- and with Him, everything is possible. That is the one truth-- and the reason we should give thanks to Him alone.
