let me just boast a while

Do you mind...
if I do a bit of bragging?
Don't worry,
it's not about me.

It's about someone I know.
One who is rather hard
to wrap my whole mind around
and yet...
He is worthy of every effort.

For He is so grand, that He
has measured the waters of the earth
in the hollow of His hand,

He has...
measured heaven with a span...
the spread of His one hand from
fingertip to fingertip.

(Isaiah 40:12)

And since He created all,
and existed before time...
Whom did he consult,
and who made Him understand?
Who taught Him the path of justice,
and taught Him knowledge,
and showed Him the way of understanding?
Isaiah 40:14


I cannot comprehend,
for all that I learned came not from myself
but from others willing to teach.

And while I'd love to take credit
for my striving and strength,
my perseverance and drive
I must admit how I tire, how I weaken
how I cannot do it all.

And my pride has given in, given up...
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the faint,
and to him who has no might
He increases strength.

Isaiah 40:28-29

How grateful I am to know Him.
How relieved it is to admit weakness.
When once I was all about pride
I found it a weary pretense
to keep about me.
But now I relax in His grace.

And I have found my God
all the more beautiful!
And He is certainly worthy
of praise.

But even better...
a list for the bragging
so that others know how I love Him.

Word of God
train me, today...

To keep a running list
of all that I love about my Lord.
To never cease from bragging
​of the wonders of Him.
