Let him who boasts boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
How many times do we have to be told? It's not about us! Even when we work really hard to achieve something, it is the Lord who empowers us and he is worthy of your boasting.
But in our world self boasting has become a staple of our daily diet. Day in and day out we scheme for ways to get the recognition we think we need to survive or get ahead in life. And this verse tells us that activities like that wont get us anywhere.
So look at everything you have accomplished in your life and realize that as Paul said, while we were yet sinners he gave his life for us. Therefore boasting belongs to Him.
