"Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.” -- Jeremiah 9:23-24
It's not about earned degrees, it's not about being physically fit and it's not about having a profitable portfolio. All these things are far from pleasing the Lord and bringing lasting value to a life. Consider that which the Lord highly values: that we have a deep, growing relationship with Him, showing the love, justice and righteousness of God on a daily basis.
Such a life can be achieved by anyone who turns to the Lord before the harvest is past and the summer is ended. (Jeremiah 8:20) Have you embraced the Lord as your Redeemer and Reason for living my friend? Has he become your heartbeat and breath of life? Make your boast in the Lord and abundant life will be yours at every level. Jesus said it best in John 10:10, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
