The Bible reminds us in 2 Corinthians 10:13 that we should not boast about things outside the place God has given us. Paul explained that he would stay within the limits of the mission God had assigned to him. He would not try to claim influence in areas where he was not called.
Consider what this may mean for us today. Each person has a role and a place of service given by God. When we stay within that role, we are free to do our best without needing to compete or act like we know everything. It helps us to value the gifts of others, since God gives different callings to different people.
Trying to act outside of what God has given can lead to pride and foolish mistakes. But when we accept our lane and respect the lanes of others, we are guided toward humility and peace.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves;
Philippians 2:3
