Jeremiah 9:24

"But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord."

The prophet Jeremiah was called to give a judgement call to the people of Judah. They had rejected the message of God. Jeremiah prophesied as to what would happen to the nation. He brought the message that disobedience always brings God's judgement. Even today when we disobey God we will bring his judgement on our lives.

But God also sent a message that if man would glory not in his own wisdom, nor in his own might nor in his own riches, God would delight in him. God wants man to acknowledge him and to know that he is a loving God which executes judgement and righteousness in the earth. This is where God's delight is.

We must recognize this. We must know that God wants us to walk in his wisdom. In order to do this we must study his word. That is where our direction comes from.

Lord God, I praise you for this word you have given us. I love you and thank you for my daily sustenance. Thank you for your love. I pray you will draw my loved ones to you for a closer walk and for salvation to those who know you not. Amen
