"Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord." (Jeremiah 9:23-24).
In what do I glory? In the wisdom I think I possess? In my feeble strength? In fleeting riches? All these things are futile! But if I understand and know my Lord, and if I can grow in this knowledge day by day, then will I have something to be proud of!
Time spent in getting to know the Lord is certainly time well spent!
