Boasting

The Word is sufficient and all my thoughts are worthless. What makes you proud? Your family, job, spouse, house, the Braves, the Falcons, your college sports teams? What are you proud of? Did you know that everyone who spends time with you can tell? If you are with someone long enough you’ll know what they are proud of because at some point they’ll boast about it. I do, you do, we all do. So what do you boast about? You should only be boasting of one thing.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 - "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong
man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who
boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord,
who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I
delight," declares the Lord.
