MY BOAST IS IN THE LORD!

by linzy bruno  
12/07/2021 / Poetry

 

Unchallenged humility
readily holds its place;
the unpopular, divinely held back,
while the worldly fill all the space.

 

Then souls quickly becomes "Puffed Up;"
and egos soar out of bounds,
how unfortunate when numbed applause
drowns out all Heavenly Sound.

 

But if ever such clamor
should beg the response of a faithful ear,
there would be an unlikely response,
tis' true,
as man is not to be feared!

 

Yes, if ever I hear
such widely spread chatter;
God has given me words to say:
I could never do all by myself,
what He Works within me
to do each day!

 

So steadfastly, I will not boast,
no matter how brightly my work may glow;
I will not let it "puff" me up,
for it's the Lord in me,
making it ALL so!

 

Therefore, bragging words will never
proceed from this mouth,
as this I cannot afford!
For as the Apostle Paul himself has said:
"All of my boasting is in the Lord!"

 

"If I must boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying." (2Corinthians 11:30-31)

 

Also See: Jeremiah 9:24 & 1Corinthians 13:4

 

Verses on "Puffed Up:"

 

Colossians 2:18, 1Timothy 3:6 & 6:4 & 2Timothy 3:4
