| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to The Morning Mindset. I am thankful you're with me today. How is your |
| 0:07.4 | things going? How's your day getting started? It's my desire to be here to encourage you |
| 0:12.7 | in the way of the Lord to help you get your mind aligned with the truth of God for today. |
| 0:17.7 | That really is the most important thing. It's for us to be thinking like God thinks about |
| 0:22.6 | ourselves, about other people, about the life that we live in our interaction with the people |
| 0:28.3 | of this world. Today, we're going to be talking about the issue of praise. And in particular, |
| 0:35.2 | self-praise, and praise you might receive from other people. That's in Proverbs 27 verses 2 and |
| 0:42.0 | 21, which we're going to get to in just a moment. But first, I want to remind you coming up on |
| 0:45.6 | Friday is our pray together episode. It's a bonus episode where I pray for requests that listeners |
| 0:52.2 | like you have submitted. We take these before the King of Heaven as a group. And folks, those |
| 0:58.2 | episodes are being listened to up to 10,000 times. So imagine if 10,000 people were praying for you |
| 1:04.5 | about the request that you submit. You can submit your request by going to carry green.com, |
| 1:10.3 | C-A-R-E-Y, green like the color.com slash prayer. It's my hope that you will give us a request |
| 1:19.1 | that we can pray for and lift it to the King of Heaven. All right, Proverbs 27 verse number 2 says, |
| 1:25.3 | let another praise you and not your own mouth. A stranger and not your own lips. So Solomon is |
| 1:34.8 | telling us, don't be a braggart. Don't be one who's always humble bragging your achievements or |
| 1:40.4 | the achievements of your family, your kids, your relatives on social media or in public. You should |
| 1:46.4 | not be a person as a follower of Christ who is exalting yourself. You see, our desire as believers |
| 1:53.7 | in Jesus Christ is to be the same as that of Jesus. Jesus exalted the Father. Jesus always pointed |
| 2:00.8 | people to the Father. In fact, he said, I do nothing unless my father directs me to do that. You see, |
| 2:07.9 | Jesus reliance on his Father is the model for us. And our reliance on Jesus should be expressed in |
| 2:15.2 | the way we speak so that our comments are not always self-praising. Our behavior on social media is |
