Praise

When a man is praised

His goodness is tested.

If there is any pride

It will bubble up arrested.

Vain men seek praise.

Wise men just taste.

Then they give it all to God

For his gifts of grace.

“As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.”

Proverbs 27:21 KJV

“For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?”

I Corinthians 4:7 NKJV
