Jeremiah 45:5 ” Should you then seek great things for yourself? Seek them not.”

Romans 2:8 tells us that when we are self-seeking, overly ambitious, and selfish…we are not honoring God. Jesus also made it plain in Matthew 6:33 that we are to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness…denying pride in our heart, eyes, and actions. (Psalm 131:1) This means a right relationship with God has to be our highest priority in life…not power, honor, or prestige. John put it well when he wrote, “For I seek not to please myself but Him Who sent me.” (John 5:30)
