[S] Jeremiah 9:24 --
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."
[O] I like to boast about what I am good at or good stuff I have but lacks the initiative to boast about my God in heaven who loves me steadfastly, who is righteous and justice. I am so wrapped up in my own world that I don't leave room for God to be recognized in and through my own life and yet I consider myself being a delight in His eyes. God wants me to boast how good and wonderful He is to me and become the contagious agent to the people around me. That's what will delight Him. I need to stop trying too hard in my own ways to delight Him; instead I should boast His goodness.
[A] Start my day by boasting about how good God is to me and my family. End the day by thanking Him for steadfast love throughout the day.
[P] Dear Father, thank You for identifying my selfish perspective even while I am supposedly trying to please You. I am trying to do things on my own but based on this passage I will need to start boasting about Your greatness and that's all. No other strings attached. Thank you for letting me realize this and thank You for being my righteous God. In Jesus' name. Amen.
