I thought it was interesting that our passages today began and ended with a similar theme....
Proverbs 27:1-2
Don’t boast about tomorrow,
for you don’t know what a day might bring.
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—
a stranger, and not your own lips.
and
2 Corinthians 10:17-18 So let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.
We really have nothing to boast about. Anything good or positive about ourselves is a gift from God. The only One we should be considered about praising and glorifying is God.
That said, it is also good to be encouraging to one another, and pointing out when someone around us has done something for the kingdom or for His glory.
May we stay humble and recognize that all glory belongs to Him.
May we encourage those around us to continue to use the gifts He's blessed them with for His glory and for our good.

Good points. God truly does deserve our glory!
As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man. - Proverbs 27:19
Unless we look into the water, we do not see the reflection. This verse caused me to stop to think about what my hearts reflection would look like.
