The Only Source

So they came to John and told him, "Rabbi, the One you testified about and who was with you across the Jordan, is baptising and everyone is flocking to Him. John responded to his disciples, "No one can receive a single thing unless it is given to him from heaven."

John 3:26-27

This is what The Lord says: The wise must not boast in his wisdom; The mighty must not boast in his might; The rich must not boast in his riches. But the one who boasts should boast in this, that he understands and knows Me -- That I am The Lord, showing faithful love, justice and righteousness on earth, for I delight in these things.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

I think it is cool that there is such a thing as a good braggart. Read Psalm 40:7-10 and 44:8. Once again, it is all about the 'F' word. Focus is what keeps our heart, mind and relationships square with Him. He is jealous by nature, a consuming fire of jealousy, He is jealous for His glory and our welfare. Our welfare is always tied in with His glory. The thing that keeps our life on a proper keel and our course true is how we see, acknowledge, respond to Him. Making sure that He is the Only One, the Only thing we boast in and treasure above all else. He is our provider, protector, best friend, and as King David says, Our loving ally. Our glory. Our Only Source.
