The boast of life is to be a boast in God. This highlights God’s glory and abases us in an attitude of humility. We’ve come to this conclusion: God is all, and we are not. Too often, we put confidence in our strength, smarts, and status, and we are content to go on without the help of God. However, this is godless. What do I mean by that?- To be godless is to live unaware of your need for God, and to proceed in life without seeking His help; as if He has not offered Himself to be the God of our existence. In short, to be godless is to live life without God. This results in a life ruled by sin, worry, and fear. Without God, we are given over to the troubled nature of this life, and misplace our boast, seeking help from men. Here, we seek man’s wisdom rather than the wisdom of God. We seek therapy because we don’t know God’s healing. If this is the pattern of our lives, can we boast that we’ve come to know God? God’s name is Counselor, are we counseled? God’s name is Savior, are we saved? God is a rescuer, are we rescued? If God is the life-giver then why are we dead? If God is a river of riches then why are we as dry as a desert? There must be more, and oh there is! Place your trust, life, and boast in God, and He will be the help of your presence.
