Scripture:Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord: Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up—that is, the whole land. And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the Lord. But I will give you your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go.” (Jeremiah 45:4-5 ESV)
Observation: our lives are not for our glory.
Application: If ones actions are driven by self glorification, it is folly. It eats away like moth and rust. One must seek God first...and this cannot be accomplished by our own strength.
Prayer: Daddy, give us the constant, ever present desire to seek Your kingdom first. Let us not seek to glorify ourselves, and may You alone be glorified.
