TIM Good morning, I’m Tim Wise, Senior Adult Minister and Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. As Christians, we are called to boast in the Lord and his mighty works. Jeremiah 9:23-24 says: “The wise must not boast in his wisdom; the mighty must not boast in his might; the rich must not boast in his riches. But the one who boasts should in this, that he understands and knows Me - that I am the Lord, showing faithful love, justice and righteousness on the earth.” Our God is awesome, and powerful, and mighty, and we should boast in Him. Not in the things we possess. Not in the money we make. Without him, none of it would be possible. True boasting in the Lord is actually boasting of the Lord—boasting of His great attributes, boasting of what He has done for us, of what He is still doing and of what He has promised to do. Whatever good may come from our ministry, we have no reason to boast, because, humanly speaking, we are “weak,” “foolish,” “lowly,” and “despised.” All the glory goes to God and God alone. Find joy in knowing that God is doing a good work in each of us and boast about it! Make his glory known so that others may see his glory as well.
