Jeremiah 17 is an amazing chapter on this. I’ll quote a few verses here. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Fame is a dangerous thing for many reasons, especially this one.

““I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.””

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭17‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A strong connection to the Lord and good local church accountability is God’s antidote to the problem of fame. We need both to temper the wickedness of our hearts.
