"So His fame spread..."
-Matthew 4:24
Sometimes we can get caught up living for our own fame. We would never say this, but deep down we realize it is true. We are offended when someone wrongs us. We are hurt when we do not receive the recognition or thanks we feel that we deserve. Our feelings are hurt when someone doesn't return our calls. All of these can be subtle reflections of our desire for our own fame. How often do we seek to live every moment in such a way that the fame is Jesus is made known in and through us? When God's power is poured out, do we make Him famous, or try to share the credit? Do you seek answers to prayer so that our lives can be more comfortable, or so that the answered prayer can increase the fame of Jesus?
