Jeremiah 50:29-46
‘The arrogant one
will stumble and fall’ (Jeremiah 50:32). Lord, Your Word warns us -
‘Pride goes before... a fall’, ‘Arrogance will bring your downfall’
(Proverbs 16:18; 29:23). Help us not to trust in ourselves. Help us to
put our trust in You, Lord - Our ‘Redeemer is strong. The Lord Almighty
is His Name’ (Jeremiah 50:34). Help us not to boast of ourselves.
Salvation is ‘not our own doing.’Teach us to ‘boast’ of You,
Lord.’Salvation is ‘the gift of God’ (1 Corinthians 1:31; Ephesians
2:8-9). When we are tempted to take pride in ourselves - ‘Lord, I thank
You that I am not like other men...’ (Luke 18:11-12), teach us to come
to the Cross of Christ, praying the sinner’s prayer - ‘Lord, have mercy
on me, a sinner’ (Luke 18:13) - and boasting only of You, our Lord and
Saviour - ‘God forbid that I should glory except in the Cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ’ (Galatians 6:14).
