"Do not exalt yourself in the presence of the king, And do not stand in the place of the great. For it is better that he say to you, “Come up here,” Than that you should be put lower in the presence of the prince, Whom your eyes have seen. ...It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one’s own glory is not glory." ~Proverbs 25:6-7 & 27
"So on a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an oration to them. And the people kept shouting, “The voice of a god and not of a man!” Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died." ~Acts 12:21-23
"I am the Lord, that is My name; And My glory I will not give to another, Nor My praise to carved images. ...For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; For how should My name be profaned? And I will not give My glory to another." ~Isaiah 42:8 & 48:11
"(Then Hezekiah said) My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and that you should MINISTER TO HIM and burn incense.” ~2 Chronicles 29:11
"Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure." ~Psalm 103:21
