And that confuses the shit out of me.

Crediting God means God gave you a gift he didn't give anyone else. You imply, ipso facto, that you are favored in some way; or at least believe yourself favored.

Yet, somehow, crediting yourself for the all the hard work and practice you put into your particular craft is considered arrogant. Go figure.
