Boast in the Lord
2 Corinthians 10:17-18
17 But “he who glories, let him glory in the LORD
18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
All through the Bible we are taught not to lift ourselves up; not to think of our self more highly than we ought to think. Pride is something that will keep us separated from God.
Isaiah 54:14
14 In righteousness you shall be established;
You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear;

2cor.5:21
21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Eph2:19-22

God has established us in righteousness and nothing or no one can move us.
He even promised us that we don’t have to take up for ourselves; He says; “Vengence is mine, saith the Lord, I will repay.
We do not have to fight for rights, He fights the battles for us.
James 4:9-11; Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and He will lift you up.
Luke 14:7-11 (New King James Version)

This is the true rest of God:
