Boasting in The Lord

Jul11

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;

but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 NASB1995

No Partiality

Jun25

My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.
For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?
James 2:1-4 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.1-4.NASB1995

The rich and the poor have a common bond, The Lord is the maker of them all.
There is no partiality with God and God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
We do not know the heart of a person by their attire or stature in society. We are not to judge for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him.
We shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, nor judge according to appearance, but we are to judge our neighbor fairly with righteous judgment.
Proverbs 22:2/Romans 2:11/1 Samuel 16:7b/Romans 10:12/Leviticus 19:15/John 7:24/Proverbs 2:2 NASB1995

🌹Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;

Seeking Wisdom?

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.2.6.NASB1995

‭In 1 Kings 3, Solomon, the son of David, was a little child when he became King in place of his father. God spoke with Solomon and said, “ask what you wish Me to give you.” Solomon requested an understanding heart to judge the Lord’s people to discern between good and evil. It was pleasing in the sight of the Lord that Solomon had asked this thing. “God said to him, ‘Because you have asked for yourself discernment to understand justice, behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given you a wise and discerning heart,'”

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.
