Contrast Ramses desire for glory with the attitude of Paul and Barnabas. On one of their missionary journeys, they faced a situation during which they refused to accept vainglory. When a crowd in the idolatrous city of Lystra saw them heal a crippled man, the people exclaimed, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men! (Acts 14:11). They immediately prepared animals to sacrifice in honor of Paul and Barnabas. But the two quickly objected, saying, We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God (v.15).
We do not rival the apostles in our accomplishments for God, but we all have things we do for Him. Its then that we must be glory deflectors, making sure God gets all the glory for everything we have done.
