PROUD AS A PEACOCK

Today's reading: Jeremiah 7-11

"This is what the Lord says: Let not the wise man gloat in his wisdom, or the mighty man in his might, or the rich man in his riches. Let them boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who is just and righteous, whose love is unfailing, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken." Jeremiah 9:23-24 NLT

Last year we gave a pair of young peacocks to some friends of ours for their little farm.

I received a video from her yesterday that showed their young male fully fanned out displaying the colors of his beautiful tail feathers.

He had beauty to share with the world, so he did.

You and I? Well, you and I have, if we know the Lord as Savior and Friend, more, much more to boast about than a young peacock!

We know the One who knows us intimately.

We know the One who created, stirs up and calms the storms--in the weather and in our hearts.

We know the One who watched as Adam and Eve sinned, but loved us enough to send Jesus.

Are you as proud as a peacock?
