Boast About the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:26-31)


Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

There really is nothing worth boasting about in this world. Nothing we have, nothing we are is of our own making.

We may think we can boast in our wealth … and the stock market crashes. We may think we can boast in our stuff … and then a fire destroys our home and everything in it. We may think we can boast in our career … and then the pink slip comes.

We may even think we can boast in our very lives … and then the diagnosis comes.

Life is short, fleeting.

Truly the only thing worth boasting about it what Christ has done for us. Salvation. Redemption. Grace. Mercy.

Eternity with Him.

And so let’s boast about our Lord. Let’s share His goodness and mercy and love with others.
