CONNECT people to Christ and POUR into their lives His teaching so they'll OVERFLOW for the glory of God

Boast in the Right Things

We often hear that we should not boast, but really, that is just a half truth. According to the Bible, It’s not that you boast that’s the issue, but what you boast in. We read in James 1:9–11, “Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits.”

That is a roundabout way of saying everybody no matter who you are and where you are should boast in God and his provision for you. If you are of a lower status here in this life, boast in God and His provision for you because in the life to come, God will exalt you into His very presence.

And for those of you who are of a higher status in this life, don’t put your hope in yourself or in the things of this world. Life will humble every person before the end of it comes. Everything in this world, including your very life, is here today and gone tomorrow. Instead boast in God and the riches of the world to come.

As the Holy Spirit said through Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians, let him who boasts boast in the Lord. When you do that, you have a lot to boast about! So, get to boasting in the right things.

Change begins in you!
