What does the Bible say about seeking great things for myself?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against seeking great things for ourselves, as seen in Jeremiah 45:5.

The Bible teaches that seeking great things for oneself can lead to pride and a disconnect from God. In Jeremiah 45:5, the Lord advises against pursuing worldly ambitions, reminding us that such pursuits distract from our true calling as followers of Christ. Instead of striving for earthly recognition or wealth, believers are called to focus on humility and reliance on God's provision.
