A Self-Centered Person Glories In Himself And Not In God
Jeremiah 9:23. When a person is centered only on themselves they do not realize that God is in control and that they need to be centered on God. God created this world, not us. We have forgotten God when we glory in our own wisdom, might, and riches. We deceive ourselves when we think we can rely on ourselves. God desires for us to be wise, to be mighty, and to be rich, but He demands that we glorieth in Him (Jeremiah 9:23). We are in His world that He created. We were created to glorify God in every situations and never put ourselves above God.
JEREMIAH 9 BIBLE SCRIPTURE Jeremiah 9:23, "Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:"
