Praise

"The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,

but man is tested by the praise he receives."

Proverbs 27:21

Don't you find it interesting that the testing is 'praise' and not fiery trials? 

Constantly amazed at how the Word upends our notions and challenges beliefs so ingrained in us: of what it means to be blessed (Matt 5:3-11), of who is wise in God's eyes (1 Cor 2:6-10), our favoritism and who is blessed by our Father (James 2:1-5).

You see the depths of our hearts and You love us the same. In this age of post-truth, Your Word ever challenges the social norms and what we take for as "business as usual".
