2 Corinthians 10:17 Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.

The great apostle and missionary, Paul, recognizes the temptation to boast about our accomplishments. He also keenly recognizes the temptation to boast about our particular gifts and talents. No—he says—only boast in what the Lord has done for you and in you. We don’t want our talents to get the attention, but the one who gave them to us in the first place.
