Lenten Devotional - Day 8

1 Corinthians 2:14-3:15

"So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth."

At times it can be so easy for us to take all of the credit for things we have done. We get caught up in our own successes and accomplishments and we fail to remember all of those people who helped us along the way. No task, big or small, goes without help. Sure, we should always be proud of the work we have successfully completed, but amid our triumphs it is important that we take a moment to reflect upon those who positively affected and aided in these endeavors. It is a simple thing, but acknowledging those who have helped you with a simple "Thank You" can certainly have a far reaching impact. 

Challenge yourself today to say "Thank You" to someone who has recently helped you.

Creator and Sustainer, we know we cannot experience success without the help of others. Help us to remain grounded in our triumphs as we graciously and humbly thank those who are willing to help us. Amen.
