BRAGGING RIGHTS
As Christians, we have bragging rights. We have something to boast about. We have something to be proud of, to be thankful for, and to glory in. We may never be music superstars or cultural icons. Fame and fortune may not come our way. But we are sons and daughters of God, and we can boast of our relationship with Jesus Christ.
The New Living Translation renders Jeremiah 9:23–24 like this: “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.”
The apostle Paul said something similar in Galatians 6:14: “But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Lasting inner satisfaction doesn’t come from the externals of life— education, wealth, and power. It comes from a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and with the kind of wonderful lifestyle we develop as He reforms, remolds, and renovates our lives for His glory.
Boast today— of Him!
