Proverbs 27:2
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not
your own lips.
Bragging is ugly. I think we talk about ourselves so much because we have a need to be significant or at least to be noticed. In some cases, if you don't speak up for yourself, others may get a position or recognition that you deserve. In this proverb we all called to let others do the talking for us, believing that if we do good work, it will eventually be noticed.
You might ask, "What do I put on my resume or job application?" The truth. Many people lie or neglect to make full disclosure in fear of not getting a job. As people of wisdom we must trust that God will plead our case. We do not need to make our case; God will make it for us.
