Friday!
Proverbs!
It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory.
Proverbs 25:27 AMP
Honey is good.
Too much honey is not good.
Being recognised for good work, honoured for your achievements, thanked, encouraged, praised, these are all good things too.
But
If that's all you hear, that's not good.
It can change something in us that goes from doing, making, creating, building, writing, growing teaching, even praising God, because it's good, right, uplifting, positive, encouraging, providing for you, for others, into looking for more thanks, praise, adulation.
More glory.
So keep doing what's right, what's good, even if no one sees it, even if they see it, and even if they benefit from it and never thank you or recognise you.
Do good things because it's good.
