Phillip Bates Misplaced Confidence
Jeremiah 9:23-24
Misplaced Confidence
Don’t brag about your wisdom, strength or wealth.
If you must brag, then have enough sense to brag about worshiping me, the Lord.
What I like best is showing kindness, justice, and mercy to everyone on earth.
A Day of Punishment
Someday I will punish the nations of Egypt, Edom, Ammon, and Moab, and the tribes of the desert. The men of these nations are circumcised, but they don’t worship me. And it’s the same with you people of Judah. You are circumcised, but your hearts have not changed. ~Jeremiah 9:23-26 CEV
