I was a jump-rope champion inwards seventh degree gym. I won a water-safety verse contender that same year.(1) My boss inwards high schoolhouse gave me a plaque maxim I was 1 of his best waitresses.
Pretty paltry awards, aren't they?
I don't accept much to boast virtually inwards worldly terms. I'm non expert at sports, as well as my homemaking career was satisfying only non award-winning.
Maybe that's why Jeremiah 9:23-24 is 1 of my favorite passages. It offers anyone a jeopardy to boast virtually the best of the best:
"Thus says the LORD, 'Let non a wise homo boast of his wisdom, as well as allow non the mighty homo boast of his might, allow non a rich homo boast of his riches; only allow him who boasts boast of this, that he understands as well as knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, judge as well as righteousness on earth; for I please inwards these things,' declares the LORD."(2)
May this endure my boast as well as yours.
