Daniel 4:34-37
34 ... and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. 35 All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, “What have You done?” 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, all of whose works are truth, and His ways justice. And those who walk in pride He is able to put down."

1 Peter 5:6. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,
God is sovereign, so He has every right to to as He wills, not as we expect or even dare to demand. Who can hold back His hand or question what He allows or who He raises up or brings down? He does everything justly and truly. When we in pride say all is by our ability or effort, He will humble us - if we are listening. Let God lift us up, not even thinking about doing so ourselves. When we blow our own horn, it falls flat.
