When we seek our own glory, we invite disaster. 

The story of Gideon in Judges 8-9 serves as a powerful reminder of what happens when we forget who truly deserves the throne in our lives. Gideon began his journey in humility, allowing God to reduce his army to just 300 men. Yet after victory, his actions revealed a heart seeking personal glory rather than God's.

Our words may profess faith, but our actions reveal who truly sits on the throne of our hearts.
