DO NOT BOAST

1 Samuel 2:3

Do not boast nor speak of high things;
Let no arrogance come from your mouth,
For the Lord is the God of knowledge;
And God is preparing His actions.

Personal Challenge

It is so easy to proclaim that you are something or profess that you follow a certain some person or way. However, it is your actions that verify the true nature of the heart. And it is from the heart that the true you comes forth. We must always be checking where our hearts are if we want to profess that we are followers of Christ. To be a follower means to do as the person that you are following would do. Are you humble as Jesus was? This allows no room for boasting. Are you loving, even to the point of loving those who would crucify you? How about merciful, caring, graceful? We are not Christians by our words but by our actions. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God have mercy on me, the sinner!
