My Glory or God's

I'll be preaching on the sin of 'selfishness' this afternoon.  At the heart of selfishness is the belief that I am at the center of the universe, but the truth is that God, alone, is at the center of the universe.  The world revolves around God; the world does not revolve around me.  Here is a sampling of verses, teaching that God is the center, and therefore God alone is worthy of worship...

Isaiah 43:6-7  

I will say to the north, Give up,

whom I created for my glory,
whom I formed and made.”
