“Woe to him who builds his realm by unjust gain to set his nest on high, to escape the clutches of ruin!” —Habakkuk 2:9.
In our world, our race to get to the top and leave all our rivals in the dust behind us or at the bottom of the bin of failure, God tells us to stop and realize that Kingdom values are different from worldly values that there is no success without service in godliness. He also warns us that it will bring us to ruin if we ignore his values by placing ourselves above the well-being of others or pursuing our success at the cost of our ethics.
