Our Boast!
written by: Lenae, GEMS training manager
This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this:
that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises
kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares
the LORD (Jeremiah 9:23-24).Over Saturday morning pancakes at a local diner with our preschool grandsons, Landon started bragging about his dad. “Papa, my dad is stronger than you.” Mike didn’t disagree, especially with his crutches propped against the wall!
“He can lift you,” boasted Landon. “He can lift a car. He can lift this whole building!” While Landon elaborated on his dad’s strength, this children’s song popped in my head: My God is so big, so strong and so mighty, there’s nothing my God cannot do—for YOU! (Ruth Harms Calkin)
Later that night Mike wondered how different our witness to the world would be if we were all as proud of our Heavenly Father as Landon is of his dad. What if we couldn’t stop sharing, “There’s nothing my God cannot do—for YOU!”
Our Heavenly Father cannot be exaggerated! He is powerful, mighty, good, and strong. He is our Provider, Healer, Redeemer, Savior, Friend, and King. He is the great I AM! This is our boast and message!
Send Me: What specific boast will you make today about our Heavenly Father?
