* This verse is basically saying:

* “Because you took credit for something God did He became the enemy not only of you but also the thing you say you made.”

* This is a terrifying remainder to give God credit for everything.

* Why? Because every good thing comes from Him (James 1:16-17).

* Our ideas originated from God - He’s the one who gave us a brain to think with.

* Our hard work originated from God - He’s the one who gave us arms and legs and health.

* We should want God as our business partner not our competitor.

* We don’t want Him to stand against our business!!!!

* Don’t forget what happened to Herod in Acts 12:23 when he took credit for his eloquent speaking - he was eaten by worms!
