PRAISE GOD!
Jesus says, “DO NOT MAKE A BIG SHOW … SO THAT
PEOPLE WILL PRAISE” Mt 6:2 (GN). Jesus talks about doing
something nice for someone and then letting everyone know so
people will praise you and give you honor. He then states, “I
TELL YOU THE TRUTH, THEY HAVE RECEIVED THEIR
REWARD IN FULL” [Mt 6:2 NI]. It is important to remember
that Jesus who God has given authority to judge says, “HE WILL
REWARD EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO WHAT HE
HAS DONE” [Mt 16:27 NI]. When we see others seek praise and
honor from people, remember that may be all they get. It is better
to be humble so that people will praise God and Jesus, and God
will reward you. Do you encourage praise for God?
