All Good Gifts
“Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”” – Jeremiah 9:23-24 (ESV)
Whatever our accomplishments, achievements or gains, it’s important to place glory for those Blessings firmly where they belong; in the hands of our Heavenly Father. True wisdom doesn’t come from the reliance on our own strengths or abilities, but instead in the knowledge that all good gifts flow directly from God (James 1:17).
