My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. — Psalm 34:2

We have no reason to brag about how strong we are. We can’t keep ourselves alive. We can’t bring down a kingdom. We can’t tell where the sky ends. We can’t know what will happen or change what has happened. So what do we have to be proud of? God! We are living proof of his grace and mercy because he saved us when we didn’t deserve it and rescued us from sin and death when we couldn’t save ourselves. Those who are sad, broken, or afraid can look at us and be glad, because we are living proof that God is good. God saves sinners, gives hope to those who are down, and fixes things that are broken. Give thanks to God for his greatness. Give thanks to the LORD for his mercy.
