Jeremiah 9:23-24 NIV
This is what [Yahweh] says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am [Yahweh], who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares [Yahweh].
The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada", which includes an experiential aspect.
Yahweh is the self-existing one; He is the origin of all existence. And He delights in kindness, justice, and righteousness. I want to experience His supernatural goodness in the land of the living.
Father, I want to be humble to know that you are the source of life. I don't want to think for a second that I can survive on my own. I want to be aware of my complete dependence on you. And I want my character to match yours. Jesus, thank you for modeling that for me. Holy Spirit, please guide me today. I love you.
