“LET NOT!”

Jeremiah 9:23-24                                  (ESV)

“23 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,

24 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."”

Very FEW WORDS are required to add to today’s Scripture.  “LET NOT” is telling us what we SHOULD NOT allow ourselves to be deceived into doing.  Any good thing we are caused to accomplish is because we are good people, but because HIS LIGHT is reflecting upon us.  “I AM THE LORD WHO practices love, justice, and righteousness in the earth” occasionally spills over onto HIS Creation.  

“LET NOT” people praise our works for good that we have done, but because we are simply reflecting HIS LOVE, JUSTICE, and RIGHTEOUSNESS with our actions.  HE IS CAPABLE OF HUMBLING US, IF HE IS REQUIRED!!!
