Boast In The Lord

1 Corinthians 1:26-31 - Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Everything we do in this world should glorify God. If we boast at our accomplishments, we need to remember to give our Father the glory He deserves. You and I cannot take the credit for the things we do here. We must always thank God for things that happen in our lives, as His plan for us unravels day after day. If you're reading this, you may be saying to yourself, "okay, okay I get it. This sounds kind of redundant." Honestly though, how many of us often have the thought to thank God, every time something good comes about in our life? We should know deep down, that whatever happens in our lives happens because God wants it to-it's all part of a bigger picture.

With that said, we need to make sure that we thank God for everything we have in this life, no matter how big or how small it may be, it's all happening for a reason, and we need to be thankful. We need to lift the name of Jesus high! [ I know I took that from a song] always glorify, and boast in the Lord, it is He who deserves the praise, and no one else.
