<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">In Podcast Episode 190, “Secure and Humble Enough to Point to Another,” Kim discusses the human tendency to hog the glory, either due to insecurity or unhealthy pride. In today’s text, we see Joab stepping aside to allow David to take the glory for the Ammonite victory. Then, we will look at a similar text showing John the Baptist pointing all glory to Jesus.</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 12:26-31 with 28 as the focal verse:</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">28 Now bring the rest of the army and capture the city. Otherwise, I will capture it and get credit for the victory.”</p> <p class="p4"><a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/'></a></p> <p class="p5">WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">Examine your life.

They destroyed the Ammonite army and laid siege to the city of Rabbah. However, David stayed behind in Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 11:1)</li> <li class="li3">27 John replied, “No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven. 28 You yourselves know how plainly I told you, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only here to prepare the way for him.’ 29 It is the bridegroom who marries the bride, and the bridegroom’s friend is simply glad to stand with him and hear his vows. Therefore, I am filled with joy at his success. 30 He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less.
