Jer 9:23 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,
Jer 9:24 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."
The goodness of the Lord, who He is, what he practices is what the Lord delights in. More than what we can procduce or make is the greatness of the Lord that we can have life. When I delight in myself, my own products it leads to death. I live in a place that is fleeting, that vascilates between sweet and terrible, dependant on my products.
May I live in the understanding of the Lord, His steadfast love, justice and righteousness in the earth. For there is life here not in me. Amen.
