Joel 4:12-21, Ps. 97, Luke 11:27-28

Glory to God

Again Jesus deflects praise away from himself and his mother onto God and the Word of God. Is my faith life such that it does this deflection automatically? If I hear the Word of God and keep it, which is such an uncomplicated thing to do, my life will give glory to God. It is a super-human action, not to want praise for myself. Jesus knows this so ask him today how to go about being humble.
