God's relationship with man does not work in a way in which man stumbles and then God has to drop what he is doing in order to lift him up rather, man stumbles so that God can lift him up. Hence it is utterly impossible to truly diminish his glory.

We tend to think that refusing to exalt Christ is staying true to our self-will and personal freedom when really we are condemning ourselves.
