1 Corinthians 1:27-29, “But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.”

 

Never brag. At least, do not ever boast in your intelligence or your strength or your resources. Human wisdom, might, and riches are fleeting. They are here today and gone tomorrow. No matter how much you may have of one or all of them, you cannot retain wisdom, might, and riches forever. There is something, someone really, in which to glory, the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel. Depend on the steadfast love, the pure justice, and the perfect righteousness of Jesus. Then go ahead and brag (v. 31). Glory in the Lord, the source of everlasting wisdom, power, and redemption.
