Boast in Christ

So recently, I've been constantly reminded about boasting in Christ. I guess it's God reminding me, curbing the pride inside my heart. If you think about it, without Him we are so inadequate, God chooses the weak to lead the strong, chooses the rejected to become important. The underdog is the one who God will use. It's amazing and totally against what the world thinks...It was God who reached down to us, God who died for us and God who gives us strength. If we can manage to grasp this then we cannot help but rejoice! and in turn this gives us even more strength. In our work, play, evangelism...we need God in it. So often we think of the nitty gritty things, iron out the creases and make sure everything is ok but we forget to put God in it. How often does the thing then not turn out good? and how often has little preparation but lots of God made the situation turn out well?

What do we have to boast but in Christ? By His Spirit, all things are possible.

Psalm 127
1 Unless the LORD builds the house,
its builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the watchmen stand guard in vain.

2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to ^[a] those he loves.

3 Sons are a heritage from the LORD,
children a reward from him.

4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are sons born in one's youth.

5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
