We usually don't like to consider God's word or will when dealing with small and great things of the world. That's why we tend to go horribly wrong when we make judgements and choices of life in general. It says all that is highly exalted or esteemed by people in the world is an ABOMINATION (rubbish) in God's eyes.

Hence, what people consider glorious or GREAT is actually rubbish spiritually. If it won't endure into ETERNITY, it's fit only for the dunghill: let's throw it there, because it's got a tricky time limit!

The word GLORY is the favourite of many false Pastors/Prophets today. They control people's minds by telling them their glories are hidden or buried somewhere. And what they usually mean by glory is always about MONEY, PROSPERITY and other great things of this world, not necessarily about God's glory and his kingdom. These are things which even the devil can give those whose souls belong to him.

This false glory about possessing and loving these things is what the scripture refers to as GRASS. All the Money, Achievements, Popularity, Possessions are all "Grassy-Glories'" because they shall all FADE AWAY as grass.

1Pet.1.24 - ... "People are like GRASS that DIES AWAY; their BEAUTY FADES as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. The GRASS withers, and the flowers FALL AWAY.

However, God's glory is the true glory, which is about righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy spirit; seeking God's kingdom first, and having other things added to enjoy. When our minds are set on God's glory and his kingdom, we are no longer ATTACHED to the GLORIES and things of the world: Money, Honour of men, material things, etc.

Now, God may bless us with some or many of that, but we are NOT "attached" to them (may HAVE, but NOT "possessing" anything). Because we know they are as grass that will fade away sooner or later.

Matt.6.19 - "Don't store up treasures HERE on earth, where they can be eaten by moths and get rusty, and where thieves break in and steal.

Matt.6.20 - Store your treasures in HEAVEN, where they will never become moth-eaten or rusty and where they will be safe from thieves.

Let's not forget, just as God used WATER to destroy the old world (the days of Noah), He's certainly going to use FIRE to destroy this too, with all the grassy-glories and human greatness:

2Pet.3.10 - But the day of the Lord will come as "unexpectedly" as a THIEF. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and everything in them will DISAPPEAR IN FIRE, and the earth and everything on it will be EXPOSED to judgment.

AND:
2Pet.3.11 - Since EVERYTHING around us is going to MELT AWAY, what HOLY, GODLY LIVES you should be living!

Finally:
1John.2.17 - And this world is FADING AWAY, along with "everything" it craves. But IF YOU DO the will of God, you WILL LIVE FOREVER.

1John.2.18 - Dear children, the LAST HOUR is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and ALREADY MANY such antichrists (false pastors and prophets) have APPEARED. From this we know that THE END of the world HAS COME.

May Jesus give you light and grace.
