All that I have has been given to me as a blessing from God. There is nothing I have received that I can truthfully boast about. In verse 7 it says, For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? We are to be thankful and must refrain from being boastful by all the things God has provided to us. It is tough to think along those terms because I want to brag about all I have and all I don’t, but Paul reminds us that it is all from God and we should always turn the glory back to Him.
