Scripture Jeremiah 9: 23, 24
There are a lot of things that people are proud of and glory in today. Some glory in the fact that they are rich. More in the type of car and home they have. Others in their children. The list just goes on and on. But according to these verses of scripture the only thing we can glory in is the fact that we know God. In the fact that God shows loving kindness, judgement and righteousness. Anyone of us who have a personal relationship with Him have already proven that He is indeed loving, kind, fair and righteous. The things of the world that people glory in will one day be gone and fade away. But God will always be the way He is.
So no matter what your status in life is today, the most important thing is to know and prove that God is exactly the way the Scriptures says He is. Instead of glorying in the things you have, why not take the time to thank Him for them. After all, everything you have came from Him anyway. So, when you are tempted to take the glory away from God and put it on things, remember that He alone is to receive all the glory.
Don't glory in the things
That you receive each day
All glory goes to God
For He sends them your way
