DAILY?READINGS: Judges 19; Isaiah 37:8-38; 1 Corinthians 15:1-34
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:31
Glorying or boasting is a part of our fleshly nature. We like to talk about ourselves, what we know and have accomplished. When it comes to being saved, we have nothing of ourselves to glory in. God saves us by His grace based on what Christ did for us (Rom. 5:8). He then works this salvation in us (Phil. 2:13) and He will finish that work on us when He conforms us to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29). It is good that He does it all because we are not able. We do the trusting. He does the work. Our only glory is in Him. All praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. —Harold G. Smith
All praise to Him who reigns above, in majesty supreme,
Who gave His Son for man to die, that He might man redeem.—W. Clark
