What do you want people to admire most about you? (Jeremiah 9:23-24)

Jeremiah 9:23-24


New International Version (NIV)


23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
    or the strong boast of their strength
    or the rich boast of their riches,
24 but 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.



People tend to admire 4 qualities in others: human wisdom, power (strength), kindness, and riches. But God puts a higher priority on knowing Him personally and living a life that reflects His justice and righteousness. What do you want people to admire most about you?
