After Paul healed a crippled man in Lystra, the town’s inhabitants deemed him to be a god and began to offer sacrifices of worship to him. He would have NONE OF IT. He and Barnabus tore their clothes and vehemently denied that they were gods, taking the opportunity to again restate the Gospel.

We all like attention, but to deflect praise from Christ to ourselves would be a serious mistake. Paul was fully aware that it was the power of Christ within him that did the healing.

God, forgive us for any selfish, personal desire for glory that may reside within us. We want to be totally humble and obedient to Your commands.
