8 While they were at Lystra, Paul and Barnabas came upon a man with crippled feet. He had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was sitting 9 and listening as Paul preached. Looking straight at him, Paul realized he had faith to be healed. 10 So Paul called to him in a loud voice, “Stand up!” And the man jumped to his feet and started walking.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in their local dialect, “These men are gods in human form!” 12 They decided that Barnabas was the Greek god Zeus and that Paul was Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. 13 Now the temple of Zeus was located just outside the town. So the priest of the temple and the crowd brought bulls and wreaths of flowers to the town gates, and they prepared to offer sacrifices to the apostles.
How often do we meet people who takes the credit from God and gives it to man?

I agree on both points...probably to often and when I look in the mirror.

Too often I pray for something and then when it happens fail to give credit to God......
Pretty much every day. Sadly, I recognize once in a while where I do give credit to God for certain accomplishments. I wish it were the other way around, where I remember one time I hadn't done it. Unfortunately, I'm guilty far too often.
