Bible Verse of the Day
“Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
—2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Thoughts on Today’s Verse…
We live in a world with skewed values, false promises and fleeting fame. What can we boast in other than the steadfastness of the Lord‘s love, the incredible riches of the Lord‘s grace, the incomparable supply of the Lord‘s blessings, the sweetness of the Lord‘s people, the mercy of the Lord‘s plan for our salvation, the promise of the Lord‘s tomorrow, the…..? What other meaningful boast is there than the Lord and his eternal grace?
My Prayer…
Lord of majesty and mercy, every good and enduring thing in my life I have because of you. While these words are simple, they are heartfelt. In Jesus’ name, thank you!
