Today, Bach is known
as one of the greatest composers that ever lived.
But the truth is, his work wasn't appreciated until a long time after his death.
It goes to show that you really can't judge the value of what you do by measuring how much human applause you get for your effort.
And it encourages us to stay focused on glorifying God in whatever He
calls us to do...
... or as Bach put it... to be motivated to live 'Soli Deo Gloria'... which means 'glory to God alone.'
