Boasting In Jesus

Jer 9:23-24
23 This is what the LORD says:
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,

24 but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD.


Earlier in the chapter, God speaks of the wickedness of man's tongue, and the deceitful heart that they conjure up. But God is letting His people know that it is the grace of God that are good.

The things of our mouths should be boasting and glorifying to the Lord. In all things, we should praise and worship Jesus Christ, for He is good.

Father God, I thank you for your kindness and goodness and Your grace. I hope not to boast in myself, but to glorify you through my words of praise. I want to honor You in my life. I pray that You may always be lifted High in my conversations, and in my actions. I want to glorify you in Your Mighty name.
Amen.
