IN WHAT DO YOU PRIDE YOURSELF?

"Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise and skillful person glory and boast in his wisdom and skill; let not the mighty and powerful person glory and boast in his strength and power; let not the person who is rich [in physical gratification and earthly wealth] glory and boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] riches;
But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me [personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character], that I am the Lord, Who practices loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord." Jer.9:23,24 AMP.
Different people pride themselves in different things; some pride themselves in achievements and some in their experiences. It all depends on what they trust in.
What do you trust in O comrade? Do you trust and pride yourself in gifts or credentials? In fact, some in the Church even pride themselves in titles. But do you truly love the Lord? Do your best to know Him personally and understand His ways for in these He delights.
The wisdom of man may fail, skills may fail, strength may fail but surely, not the knowledge of God.
Pride yourself only in the knowledge of God and you shall surely say "there is a lifting up" when the mighty in the earth say "there is a casting down"
Shalom.
