"Let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

This passage from Jeremiah reminded God's people of two truths about the Lord's character — truths we should display in our lives, as well:
  1. God exercises kindness, justice, and righteousness.
  2. God delights when he sees these aspects of his character alive in us.
Let's be more like our heavenly Father as we commit to a lifestyle of kindness, justice, and righteousness. Why? Because we should have no greater joy than to bring delight to the Father by becoming more like him in how we live and treat others around us each day!

My Prayer...

Almighty and Holy God, may my life delight you and bring you joy. However, I know my character falls short of your standards of kindness, justice, and righteousness — these qualities you have demonstrated over the ages. So, please help me as I seek to please you and bless others by living more consistently aligned with your values displayed in Jesus. Thank you for giving me the Holy Spirit, who is transforming me increasingly to be more like my Lord, in whose name I pray. Amen.
