Today’s Verse from the New Living Translation

It’s not good to eat too much honey, and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself. Proverbs 25:27 view in context

Encouragement for Today

Do you deserve honors? Perhaps you do. Receiving them doesn’t seem to be the problem; seeking them does. Why? Perhaps because it’s so sweet to be recognized that it’s difficult to know when to stop. It’s okay to eat honey, but too much of it will make you sick, rot your teeth, and spoil your appetite for more nutritious food. So too, seeking honors for yourself can make you focus too much on yourself and not enough on God or other people. Receive honors if you deserve them. Just don’t seek them. There is a difference.
