Something to Brag About

23Thus says the LORD, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; 24but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 9:23-24

  • It's only through God that I am able to do anything
  • Any wisdom, talent, strength, riches (or anything that anyone has) comes from God, so we need to recognize and remember that and give all credit to Him
  • Acknowledge God in everything I do, and allow Him to guide my ways
  • The LORD's greatness is the best thing to brag about!
Heavenly Father, let the only boasting I ever do be in You, and let it be because I strive to understand and know You. May the boasting I do in You help bring others to know your greatness, Your love and faithfulness so that they may also boast of You. ~Amen
