It is not God who needs our praise but it is us who should be seeking the praise that comes from God."I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring;he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." Genesis 3:15 (ESV)"The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything." Acts 17:24-25 (ESV)"I do not accept human praise." John 5:41 (ISV)"How can you believe when you accept each other's praise and do not look for the praise that comes from the only God?" John 5:44 (ISV)"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV)"For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"Galatians 5:14 (ESV)"Therefore, stop judging before the proper time, before the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and reveal the motives of our hearts. Then each person will receive his praise from God." 1 Corinthians 4:5 (ISV) Free ISV Bible on e-sword http://www.e-sword.net/
