23 This is what the Lord
says:
“Let not the wise boast of their
wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,
24 but let the one who boasts boast about this:or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,
that they have the understanding to know me,
that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,”
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9:23-24
New International Version (NIV)
Commentary
People tend
to admire four qualities in others:
·
Human Wisdom· Power (strength)
· Kindness
· Riches
But God puts
a higher priority on knowing him
personally and living a life that reflects his justice and righteousness.
What do you
want people to admire most about you?
