I find that I spend a tremendous amount of time chasing the praises of men rather than sitting with the praises of God. The former is something I attempt to catch, the latter catches me.

About This Quote

I find that I spend a tremendous amount of time chasing the praises of men rather than sitting with the praises of God. The former is something I attempt to catch, the latter catches me. If you are constantly chasing after praise from others, you never end up sitting with the praise of God. Instead, you end up sitting with criticism.

Criticism hurts. It makes you bitter and sometimes even causes you to act in ways that are unbecoming for a Christian. Instead, praise from God is something that will always catch you and bring you closer to Him.
