"Boasting"

"My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad."  Psalm 34:2

As humans we tend to do a lot of boasting and bragging.  We boast of our accomplishments.  We boast about our financial status.  We don't mind letting people know about all the things we can do and what we have.  We boast about our talents.  We brag on our children's accomplishments.  And we brag about our grandchildren.  We are boasters and braggers by nature.

That being the case, do we ever boast about the greatest thing in our lives, or rather the greatest person in our lives?   Do we boast and brag about Jesus?  Do we tell others about what He has done for us?  Are we quick to tell or are we embarrassed or intimidated to talk about Him?  Are we negligent and forgetful to testify to His goodness toward us?

In your conversations begin to take note to see if your bragging and boasting is all self-centered or is it God-centered?  Centered on His goodness and grace in your life?

Have a great day. What do you boast about?
