2 Cor. 10:17
2 Corinthians 10:17
But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
(Paul reminds us not to boast about our own accomplishments
that the Lord has enabled us to achieve in His work,
and he uses this Scripture from Jeremiah 9:24 to remind us
that those who are wise should not boast of their wisdom,
that those who are strong should not boast of their strength,
that those who are rich should not boast of their riches,
but those who have true understanding
should boast that they know the Lord,
that they know Him personally,
that they know Who He is,
that they know He is Lord,
that He is kind, that He is just, that He is righteous,
and that He delights in kindness, justice, and righteousness;
as we boast in the Lord today,
we can boast of the work to which He has called us,
we can boast of the God we serve today,
of His provision, of His faithfulness,
of His trustworthiness, of His mercy,
of His forgiveness, of His justice,
and of His great and relentless and fierce affection for us!)
May the Lord richly bless you this day!
