Don't set
yourself up to look like a fool. Boast only in Him, the Lord God Almighty,
Maker of Heaven and Earth. That title is His and His alone, and anything else
is subservient. Take pride in following Him and knowing Him well.
August's Message, Day 15:
This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of
their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their
riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the
understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice
and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24 NIV
There is
nothing that you are, and nothing that you have, that is worthy of a prideful
heart. Be prideful of knowing and understanding Him, for everything else could
be here today, gone tomorrow. There is nothing more valuable than believing in
Him and knowing Him well. He is our Lord God of love, mercy and grace, and also
holiness and righteousness, with justice, too. Every attribute of God is in
perfect balance and harmony, and there is no imperfection in Him. So boast in
Him, boast that you know Him well, and boast that each day you're following
hard after Him. To boast in anything else sets you up to look like a fool.
