Those who trust in Their own devices and wealth will not glorify God but only glorify self.
Those who trust in themselves will find trouble, God will humble them eventually.
Proverbs Proverbs 18:10
"10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe."
Proverbs 3:5-6
"5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight."
Luke 18:9-14
"9 Now He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: 1
0 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood and began praying this in regard to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, crooked, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
13 But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
14 I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other one; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
