FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T PRAISE MAN!--PRAISE GOD!

GIVE HIM ALL THE GLORY!

At the Tower of Babel, the people said, "Now we're going to make a name for ourselves!--Look how big we are, how mighty & how powerful we are! Look how wonderful we are, how great we are! Behold us, we are the people!" And they forgot to give God the credit. They failed to give Him the glory, so God came down & smote them & scattered them & made them a total wreck.

Gen.11:1-9

1 ¶ And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 ¶ And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
One of the biggest dangers you have is to begin thinking too highly of yourself.

Rom.12:33

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

The minute you start patting yourself on the back, God will see to it that you're humbled to bring you out of it.

1Cor.10:12

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

He's a jealous God, & He wants & deserves all the glory, & will have no other gods before Him!

Exo.20:55

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

Isa.42:8

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

1Cor.10:31

"Whatsoever you do in word or in deed, do ALL to the glory of GOD!"

Col.3:17

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

That is our prayer, that we will please the Lord & do everything we do in word or in deed, to His glory! So whatsoever we do or say today, Lord, do help us to do all to Thy glory. "And God forbid that I should boast, save in My Saviour, Jesus Christ, our Lord, to Whom be the glory forever & ever!"

Gal.6:14

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
