Our Boasting


We boast that we conducted ourselves in simplicity and godly sincerity. 1Cor1:12

                Christians are to boast in the funniest things. Things like the cross. The most violent, dreaded death, we exalt. Things like being weak. For in our weakness God is strong. Things like living simple and being content.

                It is contrary to the world in what we don’t boast in. it is not the flash and bang that we are so accustom to in our day. It is not being skilled or talented, for those are but gifts from God. It is not in what we have done or could do, we boast in our God all the day long. He gets the glory.

                God is actively against the proud but lifts up the humble. People still don’t get it. To be great in your own power is just that, your own. And you are weak and insignificant on your own. Like an ant on this earth is far greater than a human in the vastness of this universe. Your glory is a kids momentary sparkler in light of the Sun.

                The best a man can do I live by a code. To be principled is never small. If God sees, if God is watching, He is looking for those that live for the eternal. Live simple. Live sincere.
