MESSAGE

Appreciation has to with speaking well of someone or letting them know how good they are. Flattery, on the other hand, is exaggerated appreciation. For example, when someone says that a lady is beautiful, that is a simple compliment. However, when such a person goes further to say that she is the most beautiful girl in the whole world and that she is his ride or die because, without her, he would not be able to breathe, that is flattery. Likewise, if a girl says that a man is the most powerful man in the world and that he has the strength of a thousand men, just know that she is lying.

Jesus, who is all in all, did not encourage flattery. When a disciple called Him good, He said, “Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.” He didn’t draw unnecessary attention to Himself; rather, He redirected the attention of the fellow who called Him good to God. As much as possible, avoid people who exaggerate or who are quick to shower accolades on you so that you don’t get easily distracted.

KEY POINT
Flatterers are deceptive; run from them.

HYMN 45, O God Our Help In Ages Past

  1. O God, Our Help In Ages Past
    Our Hope For Years To Come
    Our Shelter From The Stormy Blast
    And Our Eternal Home
  2. Under The Shadow Of Thy Throne
    Thy Saints Have Dwelt Secure
    Sufficient Is Thine Arm Alone
    And Our Defence Is Sure
  3. Before The Hills In Order Stood
    Or Earth Received Her Frame
    From Everlasting Thou Art God
    To Endless Years The Same
  4. A Thousand Ages In Thy Sight
    Are Like An Evening Gone
    Short As The Watch That Ends The Night
    Before The Rising Sun
  5. Time, Like An Ever-Rolling Stream
    Bears All Its Sons Away
    They Fly Forgotten, As A Dream
    Dies At The Opening Day
  6. O God, Our Help In Ages Past
    Our Hope For Years To Come
    Be Thou Our Guard While Trouble Last
    And Our Eternal Home
