Good morning. When people give us praise we need to direct their praise to God. We should never let people think we’re all that. It’s in God that we live, move, and have our being. We walk on dangerous ground when we try to take God’s glory; it could get us killed. So, be careful how you respond to other people praise.
Acts 12:20-23
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. So they sent a delegation to make peace with him because their cities were dependent upon Herod’s country for food. The delegates won the support of Blastus, Herod’s personal assistant, and an appointment with Herod was granted. When the day arrived, Herod put on his royal robes, sat on his throne, and made a speech to them. The people gave him a great ovation, shouting, “It’s the voice of a god, not of a man!” Instantly, an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God. So he was consumed with worms and died.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing
