"Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let no the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord"
-Jeremiah 9:23-24
God doesn't care about anything but us loving Him. If He wanted us to be different in wisdom, might or riches, He would change it. One thing He cannot change is how much we love Him. In this we have control, and in this we can boast. I know the Lord is God. I know He is love, justice, and righteousness. I love Him. Don't be jealous :)
The theme in this book continues of being humble. Boasting in everything you have or can do doesn't bring God glory. I do struggle with that sometime. I want recognition for my work. I want to be the best. Sometimes I confuse doing my best with getting worldly recognition. Little do I realize that I could go unnoticed forever and bring Glory to God. I could never be recognized and still be doing all things as for the Kingdom.
Basically what I'm saying is that I do not have to be Teacher of the Year in order to be a great teacher.
