This morning I was thinking about
Boasting...
Not out loud... of course! :P
often I feel like I am 
top of the world
or at least
top of the heap! :)
Got my stuff together mostly
No big conviction thing goin on...
Yeah.....
Nothing wrong with that....
until I start comparing myself
with others... :(
and Paul reminded me
that ALL of that
is
Grace.
He writes to the Corinthians
and reminds them they might feel like they have it 
'together'
but everything that is good
is found in 
Jesus....
1 Cor 1:30  He is the source of your life 
in Christ Jesus, 
whom God made 
our wisdom 
and our righteousness 
and sanctification 
and redemption.
31  Therefore, as it is written, 
“Let the one who boasts, 
boast in the Lord.”
- My wisdom
- My righteousness
- My sanctification
- My redemption
Hmmmm   Not much left to call my own.... 
Lord,
Thank You for giving me
Everything I need
IN You
Thank You for the reminder
that I can boast in You
but
Not in me....
that I need to adjust
my reference point
from 
me
to
You.
Yeah.
That's better. :)
Thanks,
PJ
