Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Give it to God and he was sustain you.

It is of first importance.

“Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not 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

In our natural humanity – it sure seems like our wisdom, might and wealth is something we should boast about.

But these are all gifts.

His love
His Justice
His Righteousness.

That’s what should give us joy. That’s what should get our mouths talking.

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

James 1:22-24

Obedience is not. Pray that God will work in you the ability to see what he says in his word and then go live it out.
