“You will never glory in God till first of all God has killed your glorying in yourself.” Charles Spurgeon

As we look through the Scriptures, we can see that it never ended well for those who tried to usurp God’s glory and place themselves on the throne of their lives. Examples would be Lucifer (Isaiah 14:14), Adam and Eve (Genesis 3: 1-7), and King Herald (Acts 12:21-23) God declared in Isaiah that, “I give My glory to no other.” (Isaiah 42:8) and He means it. There is only one God (I Corinthians 8:4) and we are not Him…and will never be Him. And the sooner we acknowledge our pitiful wretchedness and allow God to work in our lives the better it will be for us.
