“…And what hast thou that thou didst receive it.”

It may be a pet peeve, but it really is shameful and it really is a serious matter. Celebrated persons should know it but they will not acknowledge it; That’s the problem as I know it. The problem is they will not give God the Glory for what they do.

The celebrities have talents or gifts from God, their Maker, therefore they should acknowledge Him; Some do but most don’t or won’t. When a celebrity does acknowledge God, the rest should take note and do the same, but they doth not do it and will not do it. They think all they have:  the gift of a voice to sing, the gift of memory to learn their lines, the gift of being a celebrated person.

The celebrated persons thank others that are in their same field: the directors, the producers, their assistants, the sycophantic fanatics are so frantic…frantic just to see their celebrity or to touch them, Idolatry; Idolatry it is called or maybe even hero-worship. They thank MAN for their awards, trophies and they thank them for their glory and their celebrity. But not a word of thanks to God for their gifts and talents. It is a disgusting show of self-praise and self-worship!!!

But what about YOU????……………..huh…….what about you, Reader?  The celebrated persons do not really matter in the BIG PICTURE…they are like everyone else that are in Adam. They are depraved toward God like everyone else.  But what about us?  Do we or do you credit God for what you have? Life is given by God and everything else that is wrapped up in that life is from God.  Air is from God. Bodily strength is given us from God, our joy, our faith, our happiness, our Christ-ian life was all received from God, do YOU acknowledge that? Do you acknowledge God in all things you do? “Without  [M]e, you could do nothing” (that really matters or will stand) is what Christ said. Do you acknowledge God for holding all things together?

Abraham was thankful for the guidance God granted unto him, Moses must have been thankful for the gifts he received to lead God’s people. Samson was thankful and knew to acknowledge God for his might. David, I know, was thankful for all things, even afflictions, Daniel was thankful and acknowledged that God is his wisdom. Paul was thankful for the ministry God gaveth unto him, i know one (1) out of ten (10) lepers were thankful for his healing, that allowed him to again be with others persons. I know the woman taken in the act of adultery was thankful to Christ’s intercession and grace.

I know persons with gifted memories, I know persons that are gifted athletically, I know persons with tremendous intelligence, I know persons with quick wits, I know persons who are special in differing and various things, I know person who can sing well, I know persons who can administrate well, I know persons who are great leader of others, intrinsically, and instinctively, I know persons that pray….I mean really pray, I know persons who help other persons, I know persons that encourage other persons, I know people that are really, really smart, I know persons who are loving to others, I know all sorts and kinds of persons gifted with abilities that are really important to others, I know persons that can read other persons like a book and I know persons that really love God and love God’s Son and the Holy Spirit. Even the love these persons have for God has been given to them, Some of these gifted persons are reading this article and I wonder…wonder, do these persons acknowledge God and thank Him for these gifts that they have received from on High.

Do you, huh? huh?

It is the wise man that acknowledges God for his abilities and talents…to not acknowledge God for all that He has providentially given is robbing God of Glory. Do not rob God of His Glory, just don’t do that and all will be well with your soul.

Godspeed.
