God’s chief end in the creation could not have been the creation itself, because the world would then have to have been eternal and equal with God. Since the world is not eternal but an effect caused by the power of God, it could not be the ultimate end of itself. This would lift an effect into the realm of pure cause; a cause that we know is God alone. It would be making a secondary cause into a final cause.

"MY NAME IS PRIDE"
 
 
My name is Pride.  I am a cheater.
 
I cheat you of your God-given destiny . . . because you demand
your own way.
 
I cheat you of contentment . . . because you “deserve better
than this.”
 
I cheat you of knowledge . . . because you already know it all.
 
I cheat you of healing . . . because you’re too full of me to
forgive.
 
I cheat you of holiness . . . because you refuse to admit when
you’re wrong.
 
I cheat you of vision . . . because you’d rather look in the
mirror than out a window.
 
I cheat you of genuine friendship . . . because nobody’s
going to know the real you.
 
I cheat you of love . . . because real romance demands a
sacrifice.
 
I cheat you of greatness in heaven . . . because you refuse
to wash another’s feet on earth.
 
I cheat you of God’s glory . . . because I convince you to
seek your own.
 
My name is Pride.  I am a cheater.
 
You like me because you think I’m always looking out for you. 
 
Untrue.... I’m looking to make a fool of you.
 
God has so much for you, I admit, but don’t worry . . .
 
If you stick with me.....You’ll never know.
 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
