Today’s Word from God’s Word-Boast

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Boast.

Boasting can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the reason for our boasting and who gets the credit. In the book of Genesis, the tower of Babel was an attempt to make a name great for humanity, but God thwarted those efforts. In reality, God gives us the strength and abilities that we have for any accomplishment.

The kind of boasting that pleases the Lord is the kind that seeks to make Him famous across the land.  His gospel is the good news that lifts us up and gives us a voice to declare His goodness and grace. He is worthy of praise for anything good that flows out of our lives.

First Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus 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.”
