Scripture: For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive, but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness. Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ. (1 Thessalonians 2:3-6 ESV)
Observation: The gospel message is not intended to flatter the speaker or the hearer. Glory belongs to God alone.
Application: Speak His truth, expect nothing in return. Walk humbly before God, taking joy in obedience.
Prayer: Daddy, give us hearts to serve one another for Your glory, without seeking glory for ourselves. Amen!
