But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone; that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things, I, the Lord, have spoken!
-Jeremiah 9:24 (NLT)
WHAT DELIGHTS THE LORD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever you feel the urge to boast about anything
Line it up with what the word of God brings
There is no point in boasting about your insight
God can take away anything when you resist and fight.
Seek and truly know your Lord and Savior
It is the only thin Pg you can boast to others
He wants you to spread justice and righteousness
He takes delight when you obey and give up lawlessness.

What brings you happiness in life? Is it a spouse who showers you with love or a child that brings you so much delight? For many years, I have worked hard to be a responsible mother and faithful servant to God. I used to take pride in being a supermom. When I was saved, God showed me what really delighted him.
The bible tells us that if there is anything that we can boast about, it is truly knowing him and understanding his unfailing love. He wants his people to be just and righteous.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your unfailing love.
REFLECTION
Why should we only boast of knowing Christ?
