Praise from Others!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who receive genuine compliments and praise from others. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Television commercials often include a famous person endorsing a product or service.
Proverbs 27:2 (ESV) is not about goods and services. Rather, it is about others praising you personally.
“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
a stranger, and not your own lips.”
Don’t brag about your accomplishments, nor say how great you are.
When others pay compliments, graciously accept the praise. But keep in mind who gets the ultimate glory for all you do and say. It is the Lord God Almighty.
Tell me what you think in the comments below.
