“He must increase, but I must decrease” John 3:30
Easier said than done. Have you ever had to bite your tongue at a moment where you were eligible for the credit but you knew it was pride? I scream-guilty! It is hard to keep a balance of confidence, boldness, and humility. How do we walk that line?
Your motive will determine your next step. If you desire credit for the sake of acknowledgment, your motive is pride. Pride is a sin. Proverbs 11:2, “When pride comes, then comes shame; but with the humble is wisdom.”
I know, I know, sometimes you just want the credit due.
When we are humble, we trust God will promote us at the right time. “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up” James 4:10.
