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

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against seeking great things for oneself, urging humility and reliance on God's provision instead.

In Jeremiah 45:5, God instructs Barak not to seek great things for himself. This message highlights the importance of humility and recognizing our dependence on God. It teaches that our lives should not be driven by personal ambition or desires for prominence but by a desire to serve and honor God. This reflects the broader biblical principle that true greatness in the kingdom of God comes not from seeking prominence, but from being willing to serve in humility.
