Today’s Thought “God’s Prerequisite” G. Ward Jeremiah 9:23-24 Thus says the LORD: “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.” The Word of God demands our conformity so as to embrace the Almighty speaking to us and can be likened to the Professor’s lecture series that demands proper note-taking and whereas the test will reveal proposed attentiveness onto a failing or passing mark (cf. Jas.1:22) and while some may boast on studious behavior that landed higher marks and other’s complacency witnessed their being pleased just to have passed, the Professor failed to know either of them because both sought a grade (Eph.2:8-9), missing the vitality of information provided (cf. Matt.7:21-23).
