Today’s post is inspired by the daily scripture on Bible Gateway.
2 Corinthians 10:17-18 – 17 But, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
For a bunch of individuals who believe it’s only about us and our preferences, they’re wrong. We are given a free will, but that is to freely choose to love the Lord and live for Him. God is the center of the universe not ourselves. The devil wants you to believe it’s all about you. He wants you to believe you can be your own master. Not because he cares about you, but because he knows it’s contrary and against what God wants for His creation. He rebelled and misery loves company. Not to mention that since he has a plan and wants to be like the Most High, there will be a day people on earth will be forced to worship him or die.
As it turns out I didn’t speak much on boasting, but more on why people boast on their own behalf.
We’re fallen. God loves us. Satan hates you. Read God’s Word and do the best to follow our Lord.
