FAITH CAPSULE: Besides God, who are you boasting?

1 Samuel 17

Boasting of God can be claiming or flourishing in the name of God.
Boasting of God is the character of a believer that knows God, not just knows about God.
One boasting God does have faith to act with boldness and character as if the only one that belongs to God.
It is wise to let your strength be rooted in boasting God.
With understanding and knowledge, boasting of or about God is glorifying God.
The documentation of David testifies his strength is in his boasting of God by his word of actions.
David personalizes God as if he is the only one that God belongs to him alone. 
He repeatedly speaks as if he is the only one that owns and belongs to God.
The book of Psalms testifies to the words of David that personalize God as the father to him alone:
Psalm 4:1, “Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.”
Psalm 13:3, “Consider and hear me, O Lord my God…” (David personalizes God to him alone, the evidence of his boasting of God.)
Psalm 86:1, “Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me; For I am poor and needy.”
The boasting of God by David is glaring in his prayer, conversation to remind God continually.
The boasting of God is the faith of calling God by His word that does not return to Him void.
Isaiah 43:26 records the word of God, “Put Me in remembrance; Let us contend together; State your case, that you may be acquitted.” David, with knowledge and understanding of the mind of God, personalizes God as His father, with the boast, to ride on the word of God to gain the undeniable attention of God.
Besides God, who are you boasting?
Are you boasting about your strength?
Knowing to boast of God is rooted in understanding that God is mindful of the created one that has a place for Him in the heart, by the ways of living life.
David knows the mind of God to boast of God for all his God-given life, and God knows the mind of David.
Once, God testifies of David as a man after His own heart. (1 Samuel 13:14)
David knows the mind of God when he approached God to ask in Psalm 8:4, “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?” 
The documentation through the Bile is for learning and understanding for one that will give self to the word of God, having the patience and comfort of the documentation.
Grow out of knowing about God, get to know God, be build-up by the word of God to be boasting of God with the boldness and character of knowing God.
Continually, let your strength be rooted in boasting God. 
Boasting about God is a way of glorifying God with praise. 
To be acknowledging God is praising God. Psalm 50:23 buttress, “Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.” 

Prayer for today: Ask that God enable boasting Him to become your way of life.
