Work and glory

Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men. (Proverbs 22:29 ESV)

Like many men, I try to do the best job that I know how to do.  Questions, criticism and praise come and go and at the end of the day, all that matters is that my actions are acceptable before The Lord.  This is a lesson I continually struggle to learn.  I want to be accepted among men as one whoe does well in his work, to be considered skillful...yet I do not wish to seek glory in this fashion.
