Let your actions do the talking

S - Scripture
Proverbs 25 v. 6-7 Do not put yourself forward in the King's presence or stand in the place of the great; for it is better to be told, 'Come up here' than to be put lower in the presence of the prince.

O - Observation
Let your actions do the talking. If you deserve to be put forward, you will be. It’s how you approach your actions. Do you tell everyone all the great things you have done? Or... do you let those around you do the talking for you? It’s not to say that we shouldn't be proud of what we do, we just don't need to boast about it. We need to remember James 4 v. 10, "Humble yourself before the Lord and he will exalt you." This is the key to this Proverb. We must approach the things we do with a servant heart.

A - Application
How am I getting in front of kings? Am I placing myself up there or am I being asked?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a most excellent servant of yours.  Love Will.
