Shalom,

Jeremiah 9:23-24 is another of my favorite passages of Scripture! 

23 Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches; 24 But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord.

Every good thing about us had it's source and origin in the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! Look at Psalm 100:3-5:

3 Know (perceive, recognize, and understand with approval) that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves [and we are His]! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.  [Eph 2:10.] 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and a thank offering and into His courts with praise! Be thankful and say so to Him, bless and affectionately praise His name! 5 For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations. AMP

HE is our Source and this should be our response to Him! Give HIM all the praise, honor, and glory that is due Him! After all, without Him, we are nothing! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Search My Heart":


Shalom in Him!
