‘If anyone wants to boast’ [Jeremiah 9:24 (GNB)]
July 30, 2023
‘If anyone wants to boast’. We generally discourage boasting but here the Lord says that anyone wanting to boast should boast that he knows and understands Me.
We read here that wise men boast of their wisdom, strong men of their strength and rich men of their wealth. Knowing the Lord means a recognition of His great love and mercy: understanding that He does what is just and right. He died for our sins: He provides our salvation.
The Apostle Paul said that he would glory in the cross. We can and must boast in what God can do.
He comes to our aid when we are unable to save ourselves: He keeps us in life’s treacherous paths: He cleanses and sanctifies us and presents us before His Father and gives the gift of eternal life. We boast in Him.
