Shine in This

Jeremiah 9:23-24

Thus says the LORD:

• “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
• Let not the mighty man glory in his might,
• Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;

But let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the LORD, exercising

• lovingkindness,
• judgment, and
• righteousness in the earth.

For in these I delight,” says the LORD.

The world's value system says:

• The strong rule the weak.
• The smart rule the strong.
• And everyone is trying to get rich.

All three of those are nothing compared to understanding and knowing God and who He is, and in what he delights!

Literally, that word chaphets means to bend.

• Do we shine in the things that make God lean over and take a look?
• Do we lean over and take a look at the things God is doing?
