The King David type gives God the glory for their success. They are rare in our world.
"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name." (1 Chronicles 29:11-13).
The King Nebuchadnezzar type give glory to themselves for their success.
“All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar… The king spoke, saying, "Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?" (Daniel 4:28-31)
King Nebuchadnezzar types are eventually humbled by God and give Him the glory.
“King Nebuchadnezzar, to the nations and peoples of every language, who live in all the earth: May you prosper greatly! It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me. How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; His dominion endures from generation to generation...the Most High is ruler over the realm of humanity, and bestows it on whom He wishes and sets over it the lowliest of men." (Daniel 4:1-3, 17)
Humanity is destined for success, but must first be humbled by God, and confess Jesus Christ is Lord.
“For it is written, as I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God….of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. " (Romans 14:11; Philippians 2:10-11)
If people do not confess Jesus Christ is Lord in this life, then it will occur before "the great white throne" after their resurrection...
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away….and I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne…" (Revelation 20:11-12)
If people do not confess Jesus Christ is Lord in this life, then it will occur before "the great white throne" after their resurrection...
“Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away….and I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne…" (Revelation 20:11-12)
Only then, after being humbled before God and confessing Jesus Christ is Lord, will all humans become successful!
