Don’t Boast in Yourself

By | April 6, 2005

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the LORD.”

Are you rich? Think your a self-made man? What part of yourself did you make? Riches mean crap. You will return to dust one day.

Do you know God? Be humbled. Anything you have is from him.

Don’t chase after the wind, rather pursue righteousness, for that is what has an everlasting significance.
