The myth of the self-made man

by | Apr 28, 2025

Understanding your partnership with God…

The idea of the “self-made man” runs deep in our culture.

But it’s a myth.

No man is truly self-made.

We’re all made by God. Gifted by God. And sustained by God.

Without His provision, we couldn’t even wake up–much less do any meaningful work.

And no one walks his journey alone.

So many others have shaped your path…

Even the unseen prayers of those who care about you have been a part of your story.

Scripture reminds us:

“What do you have that you did not receive?” (1 Cor. 4:7)

Every good thing in your life is ultimately a gift from God.

Your calling is to use those gifts in partnership with Him–for His kingdom purposes.

As you walk with God, labor in His presence, and manage what He’s placed in your hands, you fulfill the purpose He had in mind when He created you.

Reject the myth of self-made success.
Embrace the reality of God-dependent faithfulness.
This is where good and lasting fruit comes from.

“Abide in me, and I in you, and you will bear much fruit.” (John 15:5)
