What makes a person great and who can be great? There are many ways that a person can feel great about themselves. The choice is theirs, anyone can be great. Some individuals believe that their accomplishments make them great. For others it could be their level of Intelligence, Wealth, Social Status, or looks. Each person is uniquely made and for this reason no two people are the same, so each will have different reasons of why they are great. The feeling of greatness comes from within. Accomplishments have a way of helping individuals feel superior about themselves. Accomplishments could be the result of achieving higher or specialized education. Intelligence is often viewed as a level that exceeds the understanding of an average person, which could result in an individual feeling great. Wealth has a way of separating those that have it from those that do not have it. Those that have it, can afford to make purchases without the fear of not having enough and may leave them with feelings of being great.
The bible also speaks about being great, it reads in Psalm 96:4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. The passage is about understanding that the Lord is great and is greatly to be praised. When a person feels great, it’s okay, but they should remember that their greatness can never supersede the greatness that is the Lord’s. It’s understandable for individual to have feelings of being great, but that feeling is not on the same level as the Lord being great. Individuals are entitled to feel great, for whatever reason they believe is a good fit for them, but they will never have the same level of being great as the Lord. I Will, Will You?
