“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.””

Jeremiah 9:23-24 ESV

All,

This stands out because the Lord says, “but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me”. This came from Saturday’s reading, but I like it so much I wanted to write about it today. Do we see knowing God as something to boast? Where do we get wisdom, might and riches? Our relationship with God enables us to be a part of His plan and He gives us what we need to be a part of His plan. Please pray that we and our friends understand and know God today. Please pray for Doug as he is building his group.
