When you accomplish something big in your life, something like, let’s say, defeating the entire Philistine army, what is your response? OK, we have never defeated the Philistine army or probably any other sort of army, but we certainly have accomplished things that might cause us to pat ourselves on the back. Notice, however, David’s response: God did it! How do we keep reminding ourselves of the great things God has done for us and give him the proper credit when he does so?
