"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness." -- Psalm 115:1

When we are strong, sometimes we feel like we can do anything.  When we have power, we feel that we cannot fall.  When we have resources at our disposal, we feel as though we can influence anyone.  And this all leads to hubris, which has fallen many great men and women throughout time.  When your thinking is warped to believe that you are the center of the universe, you have lost your way.  Remember it's not you who created the universe, but God.  So seek to glorify him, and not yourself, that you might know spiritual riches beyond any you can generate yourself.
