What You’re Proud Of

What You’re Proud Of

This is what the Lord says: “Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things.”

Jeremiah 9:23-24

If you were to boast about anything that you’ve accomplished, what would it be?

Your appearance?

Your educational degrees?

Your children’s achievements?

Your latest job promotion?

Your role in your church or community?

Be honest and vulnerable with God here. Take a few minutes to think about what this passage calls believers to boast in. When was the last time you “boasted” about God’s love, justice, or righteousness?
