Boast in the Lord

¹² For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. ¹³ We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us—a sphere which especially includes you. ¹⁴ For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ; ¹⁵ not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, in other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere, ¹⁶ to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s sphere of accomplishment.
¹⁷ But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” ¹⁸ For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

2 Corinthians 12-18 NKJV

Pray with me please.

Father,
We are so thankful for Your presence. Thank You for Your indwelling Holy Spirit. We are not trying to compare ourselves with anyone else. We want our lives to line up with what Your purposes for us. Help us to remember that what is important is to share the Gospel with any and all that You place in our paths. We want to do the right things for the right reasons because of the love of Jesus which fills our heart. We want Your approval not man’s. We glory in You and what You have done. Thank You so much for loving us and saving our souls from the depths of hell. We love You. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
