Boast in this...

1 Corinthians 1:29-31
"...no flesh should glory in His presence.
But (because) of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written,
“He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”

There is nothing about my salvation that I can boast about. I was not smart or wise enough to understand His plan. I have not been good enough to earn my way into His presence. I have not cleaned myself up enough for Him to overlook my sins. I have not, nor could I have, paid the price for my own redemption. Jesus Christ has done everything for me. I have nothing to boast about.
So if I boast it will be in what the Lord has done. And if there is anything worth boasting about it is what the Lord has done. There is no human accomplishment that even holds a candle to the work of redemption accomplished by and through Jesus Christ.

Lord, teach me to boast in You. Let me be proud of the work You have accomplished, and not my own. Let me not be ashamed to proclaim what You have done, but only of my past. Let my words be true, to honor You. Amen.
