It's His Title


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.
