Glance intently on Christ's Glory in you; And Glance dimly on the quest for human glory

The craving for human glory controlling us over Christs glory results in glancing dimly in seeking the glory of Christ; only to glance too intently on human glory, and in doing so, the outcome of deferring to the rich and powerful over others not recognized with such esteem.

I am reminded of Proverbs 23:1-5

"When you sit to dine with a ruler

Note well what[a] is before you,

2 and put a knife to your throat

if you are given to gluttony.

3 Do not crave his delicacies,

for that food is deceptive.

4 Do not wear yourself out to get rich;

have the wisdom to show restraint.

5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,

for they will surely sprout wings

and fly off to the sky like an eagle.
