Acts 12 contains a sobering story. Herod Agrippa gave a speech after which the people stood and shouted, "It's the voice of a god, not a man." He accepted this adoration from the people instead of giving the glory to God. He was instantly struck with sickness by an angel of the Lord and he died.
Praise from man does happen. How the heart accepts it...that is crucial. Does is boost pride? Does it raise to a pedal stool? The Bible tells us that God loves a humble heart. It tells us that all that we are and all that we have is a gift from God. It also tells us that God alone is God and he is second to none!
Lord, check my heart. All glory is to You alone.
