I rode my Newly finished Recumbent Trike down to the church (JBC) this afternoon and left it in the foyer of the sanctuary. Those who came to the service tonight and those who come to either of the services in the morning have to walk right by it before they go in to sit down. It was fun showing it off this evening and chatting with a number about our upcoming trip across the nation again, this time from San Diago to St Augustine, Florida. That was pretty blatant boasting, but I have talked so much about the bike over the last several months as we built it that I couldn’t resist. Young kids show off a lot because they are still cute when they do and haven’t been trained yet that it is not good to toot your own horn. Old guys tend to boast a lot because they are winding down and may not do something that good again so might as well be sure people notice. A major reward at the judgment seat of Christ for those who live their life well for Jesus is “Glory”. Jesus will give us glory provided we have not already gotten it here. As adults managing the glory seeking irge within each of us is a major challenge each day. The admonition in scripture is to walk humbly with our God, and “God gives grace to the humble but wars against the proud.”
