If You Want To Boast,
Boast
Only About The LORD!
Have
you ever been around someone that was full of themselves? They think that they
hung the moon or at least they believe that they could? It makes one nauseous!
If you tell a story they always have one that’s better! Keep reading … this is
very short!
Scripture
31 Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”
Observation
Have
you ever been around someone that was full of themselves? They think that they
hung the moon or at least they believe that they could? It makes one nauseous!
If you tell a story they always have one that’s better!
Our
Sunday school lesson today is on humility. The lesson is taken from Daniel
chapter 4 where we find King Nebuchadnezzar very full of himself and God
teaching him a lesson on humility. God had warned him a year earlier in a dream
that Daniel had interpreted for him that he better make a change. But old king
Nebby had to learn humility the hard way. God struck him with a good dose of
insanity and for 7 years he lived out in the wilderness like a wild animal.
At
the end of the 7 years Nebuchadnezzar finally realized that there was a God and
he was not Him. Amazingly, he turned and worshipped God as the One true God and
God placed him back on the throne as king.
We
serve a God of wonderful grace and mercy don’t we!
You and I can be very hard headed, which the Bible calls “pride”!
God needs to receive the glory for whatever we accomplish in this life. If we are going to brag it better be about Jesus and what He has done in and through our lives!
Application
I realize that I can do all things through Christ Who
gives me strength and that on my own I can do no good thing.
Prayer
