Psalms 10:4. People that are self-centered are absorbed in themselves. They have no room in their heart for God. Self-centered persons are under strong delusions that they can handle ever situation. They are too ignorant or prideful to seek God for their needs and for His wisdom. God is not in the thoughts of a self-centered person (Psalms 10:4, "The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.").

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:"

Proverbs 3:5. God's plan is for us to trust completely in Him for all of our needs. This is the Christian definition of trust. He desires us to continually acknowledge Him and stay in close fellowship in Him. When we go against His plan and trust solely in our own understanding (be self-centered), God considers our self-centered actions wicked. Because God is a righteous God, he must separate himself from wickedness. To avoid separation from God we must put His wisdom above ours and stop being self-centered. We must believe and trust that the only way to do things is through Jesus Christ, our Savior. To have a close relationship with God, we must act out on His wisdom and take the paths that He directs (Proverbs 3:5-7, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.").
