"That,
according as it is written, He that glorieth,
let
him glory in the Lord." (1st Corinthians 1:31)
No
matter how small in physical stature a person might
be he loves to glory in self. If it is not self, he
will pick out someone or something to glory in. It
might be all the possessions that he owns, it might
be his wealth, his house or his car, but man will
glory and take glory upon himself. Paul says, "He
that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." The
religious world today say that they glory in the
Lord, but do they? We say that we glory in the Lord
but do we? There seems to be a side of man from a
natural standpoint that desires to glory in
himself. Look what I have done. Look at all the
good that I have done for others. Look at the
vanity of man as he tries to steal glory from God.
Preachers of the world try to take the glory of
saving a person knowing all the time that salvation
is of the Lord. Well maybe I did not really save
him, but God used me to get the job done. Vanity,
vanity, saith the preacher, all is vanity. When
we think we can help God do his work, we are then
putting ourselves on the same level with God. Man
has nothing of himself that deserves any glory, we
are still at our best, unworthy and undone sinners
but for the grace of God. It is God that creates,
it is God that spoke the world into being and it is
God and God alone that keeps and preserves his
creation. Everything that we have or will ever have
comes down from God channeled down through his Son
Jesus Christ.
