We live in a culture that expects to be noticed. If we don’t get the proper recognition for our hard work, we use it as an excuse to go satisfy our ego elsewhere.
It sounds like this, “If I’m not appreciated, then I am not participating.” And there are plenty of people to cheer you on.
We even have professionals to tell us how this is a human need that must be met.
It all makes sense for the world, but not the people of God.
Our obedience comes from a heart of willing submission. It is our reasonable service, no recognition needed.
Many God-assignments have been abandoned in pursuit of being noticed more.
If that’s you, I encourage you to get back to what God has called you to. This time, without the need for your obedience to be recognized by others.
