"Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name".
— Psalm 29:2
Are we Gods' rivals? Do we compete with Him?
Unfortunately, throughout the ages man has competed with God by glorifying ourselves in our ego and our belief that we are responsible for all the good in our life. We proudly claim to be "self-made".
Sounds familiar?
Lucifer too had similar thoughts. He too rivalled God. He led Eve to believe she could be God too! (“You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”).
It seems to be inherent in man to try and rival God, even as we read and believe His word and even as we are strongly advised to humble ourselves.
A small example: do we donate to the needy or do we pass it on? Think about it.
When God commanded "thou shall have no other Gods before me" - it included us!
