Scripture
but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me; that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord.

Observation
Our wisdom, strength and wealth are not important in the grand scheme of things. Only that we have the type of relationship with God that is intimate, one that allows us to know His character.

Application
I tend to chase after things that would increase my knowledge, strength or wealth. The only piece that really matters is how well I know God, and that I ask Him to know me.

Prayer
Father, I ask that the things that I chase after, that have no consequence to your kingdom, diminish in my agenda. Keep my eyes on what really matters to you. Amen
