Perfect Reason to Boast

 


This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, 
nor the strong man in his strength, 
nor the wealthy man in his riches.
But let him who boasts boast in this, 
that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, 
who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth--
for I delight in these things," declares the LORD.

1 Cor.1:31
Therefore, as it is written: "Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord."

Glory ye in his holy name: 
let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.








Then, even when hard knocks abound 
And we are found wanting, we boast 
In humble worldwide common ground 
That He who made us loves us most 

When trouble tests the best with worst 
And we doubt what we see, we know 
And by this grace of God we go 

Through ages past or yet to come 
His kind assurance soothes the soul 
Nothing can separate us from 
God’s love in absolute control 

Then sing for joy and glorify 
The One who does not shift or change 
Praise Him who cares for you and I 
With love that nothing can estrange 

Then, even when hard knocks abound 
And we are found wanting, we boast 
In humble worldwide common ground 
That He who made us loves us most

The verses below are this week's life's theme!!
Hallelujah!
his love is certain through all uncertainty

Romans 8:38-39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, 
nor angels nor principalities nor powers, 
nor things present nor things to come, 
39nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, 
shall be able to separate us
 from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  1. Lovely, Janet. My takeaway is this line: "his love is certain through all uncertainty". Yes!
