Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. (Romans 3:27 ESV)
Good Boasting
I have bragged about my intelligence, and then failed a test. I have bragged about my driving skills, and then slid off the road. I have bragged about my guitar-playing, and then forgot to change keys. I have bragged about my country, and then watched her slide. I have bragged about a church, and then felt her selfishness. I have bragged about so many things… that have not been worthy of bragging.
But God is always worth bragging about. The Father is magnificent. The Son is wonderful. The Spirit is delightful.
We humans like to boast, or brag, or praise, or lift up. But every single thing I know eventually is not ultimately a good brag.
There is only One… and oh, is He ever!
Being bragged about is also unsatisfying, embarrassing, and dishonest. We know that no one should brag about us.
But The Lord is worth bragging about!
Bost about Him every chance you get.
God’s glory alone.
