Boast In The Cross

 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world - Galatians 6:14.

                There is nothing to boast in our life except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is the place where Christ shed His blood and paid the price for our sins. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God - 1 Corinthians 1:18. We are saved by His grace and not by our works to boast. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast - Ephesians 2:8,9.

              There is no greater joy in the world than to boast the Lord. My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice - Psalm 34:2. In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever - Psalm 44:8. 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" - Jeremiah 9:23.         

                Let us boast our Lord alone. But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken! - Jeremiah 9:24. Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord - 1 Corinthians 1:31.                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us not to boast anything in the world except You. Let Your cross be our glory forever. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
