“Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. —2 Corinthians 10:17-18.
We live in a world with skewed values, false promises, lust for notoriety, and desperation for fleeting fame. The real question for us, needs to be this: What can we boast in other than the steadfastness of the Lord‘s love, the incredible riches of the Lord‘s grace, the incomparable supply of the Lord‘s blessings, the sweetness of the Lord‘s people, the mercy of the Lord‘s plan for our salvation, the promise of the Lord‘s tomorrow, and the promise of the Lord Jesus’ nearness (Philippians 4:5; Romans 8:38-39; Hebrews 13:5-6) — who is with us and in us and for us? So, dear friend of Jesus, let’s have our only boast be in the Lord because that is where everything else that matters in our lives can be found!
