Political opportunists like to use that phrase to further their agenda. However, in a way, that's us. Our credibility or reputation is one footstep away from destruction. The Upholder of all things keeps our credibility and reputation. If someone comments on your good credibility, speaks positively about what you "bring to the table", or comments on some job well done, your mind should go immediately to the One who made it possible.
There's no way that it came from within you. You are naturally bankrupt. One little "hiccup" and your reputation is gone.
Thank God that your times and your walk-way are completely in His hands.
