The Day of the Lord will be unwelcome by those who exalt themselves and accept worship that belongs to God alone. Those who have put their trust in money, silver, and gold, or fake gods will be brought low. God is jealous, and anytime something or someone is praised above him, it causes him to seethe with anger. Those who aren't humble will be brought low that day.

The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day. For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 2:11-12

However, that is different for us. We put no value on the physical things of this world and put all our trust in God alone. No other being can do what God does for us. We place our confidence in no one besides God and await that day with open arms as a Savior reaches out and relieves us of our weariness from our time in the enemy's dominion. Stay prayerful in the hope that those around us seek the Lord as we have and are saved from the wrath that will come upon the people and beings of the earth that day.
