The Kitchen Table Devotions
1 Thessalonians 2 Day 4
For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness— 6 nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.
1 Thessalonians 2:5-6
Living to impress man will keep us from being impressed by God. Resist the temptation to live for prizes of this world rather than the passions and promises of God. He is glory and He gives glory. Living to walk with Him will release us from insisting on man’s authority for some things to receive His authority for all things.
