FAITH CAPSULE: Boasting God is giving attention to a jealous God.
Daniel 3
It is how you trust in God that will determine how you remember to call on Him. The Bible stated in Psalm 20:7, “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.” The Eternal God that one has trust in is the God to remember and boast on. None can boast enough of the awesomeness of God for all His goodness.
His goodness and mercy are exceedingly beyond imagination.
Besides God, what or who is it that you know to be boastful of about?
Are you boastful of a man that one should never count?
The Psalmist testifies, “In God, we boast all day long…” (Psalm 44:8)
God is the One and only almighty God.
He is the great I AM, and He is worthy to be boastful of, continually.
Boasting God is giving attention to a jealous God.
Giving attention is the antidote for jealousy.
God is a jealous God. Exodus 20:5 testifies to the word of God, “…For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…”
Know that boasting of God is giving Him undeniable attention to gain and retain His presence.
Boasting in God is announcing that with God, all things are possible. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego demonstrate what it means to be boastful of God.
The three friends were sentenced to a fiery burning furnace because they took their stand and did not bow for a golden image.
In life, boasting of God could provoke boldness to look in the face of any challenge to overcome.
In the face of challenge, be bold, boast of God and claim the salvation of God.
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego responded to Nebuchadnezzar by boasting of their God stating, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king. But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.” (Daniel 3:16-18)
Boasting God all day long will boost up one where others are grounded. Once, Goliath abused the armies of the children of Israel and their God. Goliath repeatedly demoralized the children of Israel.
David responded to Goliath by boasting in God, “…You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you…” (1 Samuel 17:45-46)
Know your God, boast in Him all day long, and He will boost you with victory over any representative of Goliath.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the boldness to be boastful of God in the face of your enemy.
