Isaiah 22

Isaiah 22:16
'What right do you have here,
And whom do you have here,
That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here,
You who hew a tomb on the height,
You who carve a resting place for yourself in the rock?
It appears a steward has forgotten his place.  He is entrusted to lead in lieu of the king, but he has taken on the king's privileges.  He thinks he is king, rather than a keeper, and has glorified himself appropriately.

So it is with us, if we're not careful.  We act like we are in charge, instead of a steward, entrusted with things from God.  We act like we own the world, when we are merely to keep ready for when the Lord returns.
