Empty is the praise of man while living on this earth 
We think it satisfying, it seems to give us worth 
If we try to search for it, it seems to disappear 
It is like chasing after wind in calm atmosphere

Let everything you do, be for the praise of God
Live and give in such a way you look for Father’s nod
Would you want your treasure here and lose it up above?
Great is the reward of those who walk in Godly love

God chose the foolish things to confound the wise
All the glory goes to God so we won’t idolize 
Seek the Father’s nod in all you strive to do
You’ll hear Him say, “Well done,” when your reward comes into view

Matthew 6:1-4 – “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 – “Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29 so that no one may boast before him.”

Matthew 25:23 – “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’”

Acts 5:1-11
