I find myself continually being brought back to total dependence on my God. I read these verses this morning, and I just believe I will commit them to memory. I have posted these two verses as "11" lines. I will memorize in this sequence. Memorize them with me, will you? :)
Jeremiah 9: 23-24
This is what the LORD says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
“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.
The lines in blue, bring tears to my eyes, I can boast that I have the understanding to know God and he delights in me! So, once again, any event or circumstance in my life is in complete control by him. Proverbs 21:30, "there is no wisdom, no insight, no plan, that can succeed against the Lord".
Love this post. James McDonald said this morning that we should not let our identity - who we are - be in anything but the Lord. Kind of goes hand-in-hand with having the understanding to know Him.
