Ofcourse Bethlehem! That should be the silliest question this season. But how does Jesus being born in Bethlehem benefit you and me?
“The truth is, even if Christ were born in Bethlehem a thousand times but not within you, you would be eternally lost. The Christ who was born into the world must be born in your heart. Religious sentiment, even at Christmastime, without the living Christ is a yellow brick road to darkness.”
– Angeles Silesius
Can we pause to think how meaningful our Christmas is? Christmas is more than knowledge, celebration, or religious sentiment. True salvation comes when we receive Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Savior and choose to obey Him.
No matter how bright the Christmas season lights up our homes and streets on the outside, if it doesn’t illuminate our hearts with the truth of the gospel, then we really didn’t get hold of the true message of Christmas. If Christ is not born within us, the purpose of Christmas season fails.
In fact, we need not wait for December to receive Jesus into our hearts as our Lord and Savior. He is always available.
And the moment one receives Him in his heart and confesses that Jesus is Lord and believes that God the Father raised Him from the dead, and that He lives forever more and interceedes for us to the Father, that day is truly Christmas because Christ has been born in Him.
Let’s pray:
Dear Father, may the true gift of Christmas reach me and my house today which is the salvation we have by grace through faith in Jesus Christ Your only Son. May Christ be born in our hearts. May the light and hope of Christmas found in Christ, light up our hearts and lives.
Oftentimes, we are quick to start something new. Yet it is even easier to stop midway or give up altogether. As the saying goes, “Winners never quit, and quitters never win.” What truly sets a winner apart from a quitter is not just the beginning or the end—it’s the faithfulness shown throughout the journey.
In our Christian walk, success is not simply about the result—it is about the process of walking with God. It is not enough to focus only on the outcome; what matters most is how we live, how we walk with Him, and how we remain faithful along the way.
Many times, after a Sunday sermon, we are stirred to make fresh commitments—whether to let go of sinful habits or to obey the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Yet, because of the weakness of our flesh, we often struggle to follow through. On our own, it is impossible to remain consistent. That is why we so desperately need the grace and strength of God.
The Lord reminds us in Isaiah 40:29–31:
“He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Consistency is key. Think of what a good day looks like—when you pray, worship, give thanks, live with discipline, and walk in joy. Now imagine if that same consistency carried into every single day. Our lives would be transformed.
While many short-term reasons can motivate us, only one reason remains eternal—God Himself. Seasons change, circumstances shift, but God never changes. His Word is unshakable. As Numbers 23:19 declares:
“God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?”
Our true source of strength and encouragement must always be found in Him. Life may feel lonely, and facts may discourage us—but above those feelings and facts stands this eternal truth: God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good. Even on our worst days, He remains faithful and unchanging.
That is why Jesus said in Matthew 6:34, “Do not worry about tomorrow.” Tomorrow is already safe in His hands.
So let us not only focus on the start or the finish, but embrace the journey—walking daily with the God who never fails. Let’s not drag ourselves in despair until we reach heaven oneday, but everyday walk joyfully hand in hand with Jesus, fully assured that the One who holds our hand also holds our tomorrow.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, Thank You for being the God of my journey. So often I grow weary, lose focus, or feel tempted to give up—but You remain faithful and unchanging. Teach me to find my strength in You each day and to walk consistently in Your Word. Help me to live one day at a time, trusting not just in the destination You have prepared for me but in each step You guide me through. May my life reflect Your goodness along the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
✨ Takeaway: Consistency in the Christian walk is not about our willpower, but about depending daily on God’s strength.
❓ Reflection Question: What small step can I take today to walk more consistently with God—whether in prayer, gratitude, or obedience?
Habakkuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
To begin with, I am no fan of the above situation. I wish the fig tree would bud, the vines would be full of grapes, and everything would be merry.
But think about it: How can we ever know if we are good at something unless it’s put to the test? How can I ever know I have true joy in the Lord unless I face a situation where I don’t have people or things around to make me happy?
God does not test us to destroy us but to lift us up and lead us toward His plans andpurposes.
God surely takes us through tough situations in life. People come and people go. We gain some, we lose some. And often, we find ourselves questioning God: Why does this need to happen in my life? God could have made everything perfect, right?
But that’s exactly how we learn to live by faith in an invisible God. The Scripture tells us that what is visible is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. God is with us, and we must learn to live by that truth.
We need to learn to base our happiness and joy in the Lord and not on the people and things that He has blessed us with. For everything will change but God will not. Know this: He is still with us- in the prison, the pit, the lion’s den, and even before the Red Sea. Through it all, we see a loving Father who protects and provides for His children who trust in Him.
Psalms 16:11 You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
It is truly His hand that sustains us, because if it weren’t for Him, I for one wouldn’t be here telling you this and surely a million others would second me. God strengthens us beyond our weaknesses into the masterpiece He has always planned for us to be.
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
He is the Alpha and the Omega. We may not know what will happen even a minute from now, but God already knows the ending of our story. So, trust in Him.
Remember this: even when you can’t see anything with your eyes or hold onto anyone with your hands, by faith know for sure that God is still near you through it all. He has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Nehemiah 8:10 Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
We were all once without hope, but when we received Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He gave us His joy and peace. This cannot be taken away by the world, unless we willingly let it go.
Hold fast to the joy of the Lord. It was purchased at a great cost-the precious blood of Christ. Jesus died for our sins and rose again so that we could be redeemed from the bondage of sin and hopelessness and receive an eternal hope. Let this be the reason that we rejoice every day.
Let’s pray,
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for You are with us through every season of our lives. We thank You for Jesus who lives forever and intercedes on our behalf. Thank You for the joy that we have gained through Jesus and His finished work on the cross. May we always be assured of this truth and live by faith in You and not be blinded by the tests and troubles of life, rather come out of it stronger and always find joy in You. Be with us and guide us. In Jesus matchless name we pray, Amen.
Expectation is the driving force that motivates us to rise up each day and pursue our goals, providing the strength to persevere through challenges and strive for a better tomorrow. It is the reason for endurance and hope in our lives.
Life without expectations sounds like food without flavour. We expect returns on our investments, salary increments, parents to understand us, siblings to support us, friends to always be there for us, and this list can be as long as one wants.
All the above expectations have no backup. Even the best stocks and funds are subject to market risks. Jobs are at stake with little or no security. And the scripture says that all men are but a breath. Can we truly trust in things or people, knowing they can change or disappoint?
Expectations should not solely rest on transient entities. As life teaches us, it becomes clear that both people and material things have their limits and are subject to change. This is not their fault but a reality of their created nature.
Joyce Meyer puts it like this, ” It is foolish to think that you can always continue to do what you do.” Life will change and so will you and the people around you.
1 Peter 1:24-25 For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
It thus seems wise, to place your hope on something above and beyond them, namely – God. The Bible teaches that Jesus remains constant-unchanging yesterday, today, and forever.
Psalms 62:5 My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Additionally, it asserts that while heaven and earth may pass away, the word of God endures eternally. So have expectations, have them big, but with God. When you walk with God, He not only gives you the right desires but is also able to fulfill them.
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
The Bible gives us the right understanding of what God has in store for us. It may sound impossible and almost overwhelming to know how much God can do for us when we walk with Him and have a genuine relationship with God.
Let’s look at some examples from the Bible about people who expected big things from God.
Abraham – He believed that God is able to give him a son during his old age just as God had promised. He also had faith that if he sacrificed his son, God can bring his son back to life even from the ashes. And surely enough, God was faithful to His promise and blessed Abraham with Isaac.
David – he believed that God will use him to defeat Goliath who was a giant warrior even though he himself was just a shepherd boy because God was on David’s side. David went on to defeat the giant and later became the King of Israel.
Daniel – He believed that God is able to deliver him from the den of lions untouched by harm. He honoured God and His word above the King. God closed the mouth of the lions and Daniel remained unharmed even in the lion’s den.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – these young men did not bow down to the idol erected by the king and believed that God is able to deliver them from the fiery furnace. And God did deliver them and because of this incident, the king honoured them and praised God.
Hannah – Believed that God will bless her with a son even though she was barren for years and God blessed her with a son who later became a great prophet – Samuel.
All these show us that it is only in God and His word that we can have complete reliance and be sure that our expectations will not come crumbling down. So, remind yourself today to place your expectations not in created things but in the Creator Himself! Let your expectations always fly sky high.
When you put your heart and soul into something and yet fail, it can lead to a deep seated sense of sorrow and depression.
You almost want to be there and left alone. Isolating yourself feels like the best thing to do. It takes courage to get up again and try. But where do you get that courage to try once more, when there is no strength remaining inside of you? Well, that comes from God and not from yourself.
Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Being in God’s presence and meditating on His word is the ultimate remedy to life and its cares. No matter what, we should be able to maintain a relationship with God and converse with Him through life’s ups and downs. As long as we are speaking, He is listening.
Remember to pray and then act, not the reverse. You might be surprised at how differently you handle things for your own good. Because this much we know – that God knows best and we know less! He knows the end before the beginning.
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
So the next time you feel like giving up on something remember the Lord! Always go to Him first and ask Him to guide you through it all.
Let’s pray:
Loving Heavenly Father, we thank You, for You are always available to us in prayer through Jesus our Lord. However, oftentimes the devil makes us feel hopeless. We feel we cannot go on and that we are hurt beyond healing. Sorry for not acknowledging Your love in all our ways. Help us to be dependent on You and grow in faith, knowing that there is nothing impossible with You by our side. Help us to bounce back from all our failures. Be with us and strengthen us to do the work to which You have called us. We give You all the glory and honor and praise.
Life’s journey often leads us through valleys of sorrow and despair, where the weight of our burdens can seem unbearable. In these moments, it’s easy to feel as though God has abandoned us.
Yet, it is precisely in these depths, that we can discover a profound source of strength from God.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
When we go through heartbreaking situations in life, we often feel dejected, lonely, betrayed, hopeless, helpless, humiliated and so on. But that’s exactly when God comes into the picture. Jesus went through all of these and beyond. He was spat on, beaten, pierced, stripped, betrayed by His own disciple and crucified by His own people.
So, He is able to empathize with us in our sorrows. He is able to understand what we go through, because, He Himself endured such pain and suffering. Not only did He go through all of it, but, He overcame. And that is the Christian hope. In Him, we too will overcome!
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet He did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Remember, dear friend, that God hears your prayers, even when His answer isn’t what you expected. His plans are beyond our comprehension, and His timing is perfect. As you journey through the valleys of life, hold on to the hope that you have in Him. Your waiting is not in vain; it’s a season of preparation, a time when God is making you stronger and mature for His plans and purposes in your life.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose
In God’s appointed time, you will see His hand at work in your life, transforming your trials into triumphs and your sorrows into strength. You are never alone in your struggles; God is with you and for you. His intentions for your life are far greater than you can fathom. So, find your strength in Him alone, for He is the Rock on which you can firmly stand.
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
True strength appears when you are helpless in yourself, yet undoubtedly hopeful in God.
Let’s pray
Loving heavenly Father, we thank and praise You for bringing us through victoriously, of all brokenness and pain. We are here today because You lead us through it all. It was not our strength but Yours that kept us going.
We pray that Your strength will always be made complete in our weakness and You will show Yourself powerful before us. May You always be glorified in our lives.
If anyone told you life was easy, they lied so badly. As long as we live on this side of glory, life will be hard in this fallen world filled with evil and suffering. And if you are a Christian, it definitely doesn’t get any easier. How many times have we wished to just go back and fix things in life?
I’m sure we all have a whole movie playing in our heads now. So much could have been undone or redone in a better way. We would have thought, spoken, and reacted in a better way. Some of these mistakes can be overlooked and have not caused us serious damage, but some of them might just leave a scar in our hearts for a long time.
A heart that is not healed can cost us our peace and joy.
We all yearn for that second chance. If ever life gave us a second chance, we would grab it. But surely enough, that’s not the case. And now, what if I told you that you could put down that whole baggage of burdens and walk off freely? Sometimes, we don’t even want to hear the gospel because it’s too easy and too good to be true, so it almost sounds unbelievable. But that’s exactly what it is.
God is good and true at all times. He never changes, which means He will continue to be good and truthful. The Bible says that if you have sinned, then you must repent and confess your sins to God, and He is faithful to forgive you.
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
How is God being faithful in forgiving my sins? Shouldn’t I receive the due penalty for what I did? Well, the penalty is paid, and it was paid in full. But it was not me. Someone else took it all on Himself. Jesus died on the cross for my sins and paid the price to set me free.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. 1 Peter 3:18
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
And the moment I believe this, I am free. Now, I am covered not in the robe of my sins but in His robe of righteousness. I am saved on account of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
Any one of you who believes in Jesus can say the same because He died not only for me but for everyone who believes in Him. There is no exclusion. Everyone is offered this forgiveness. It’s about who receives it with faith. The Bible says that in Christ, we are all the same. There is no discrimination based on place, language, colour, or anything else.
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28
Today, God, through His word, offers you that second chance in life. Turn back from the path of despair and look to Him for eternal hope.
His arms are open wide towards you if your heart istowards Him.
Repent today and embrace His love. God is ready to give you a second chance, and He will also give you the grace and strength to make things right in your life like you could never imagine.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, You are simply beyond us. Your ways we cannot fathom. How blessed are we who have experienced this second chance time and again, as we fail and falter through this journey of life and come back to you, Father, asking for help! Thank You for never rejecting us or turning us down. Thank You for being close to the brokenhearted. Help us to return and make use of this chance that has been made available to us through the finished work of Jesus on the cross. May we live our lives free from any guilt or sorrows of the past, just as You would want us to. Help us to trust in You and receive Your peace.
In our previous devotional we shared about the importance of pausing in prayer before making any decision. Today, we are going to look into how we even got the right to step into God’s presence anytime and pray, praise & worship Him. Is this something that people had access to at all times and can be taken for granted or was it any different?
Do we even have to be thankful that we can pray? Or are we thinking that we are doing God a favour?
In the old testament times, the priestly duties were vested only on a special group of people called the priests. They were the mediators between God and man.Only the priests had access into the tabernable and to carry out different services that happened inside the temple of God. There were many duties that the priests carried out like offering sacrifices and atonements, ceremonial cleansings and also praying to God, praising and worshipping Him on behalf of the people.
The ordinary people were not allowed into the inner places of the tabernacle. They stayed in the outer courts and depended on the priests to speak to God and hear from God. They themselves could not have any direct encounter with God’s presence. Even so among the priests, only the High priest had access into the most holy place of the tabernacle which symbolised the presence of God. He could only go there once in a year and that with a lot of preparation.
However, things changed when The Great High Priest, Jesus Christ came into the picture. Through His death on the cross, the veil that separated ordinary man from the most holy place was torn. By His perfect sacrifice, the barrier between God’s presence and man was removed. Now, to all who believe in Him and in His finished work on the cross, He has opened a way through which we can have direct access into the presence of God. He is Emmanuel God with us. The presence of God is not in a man made tabernacle anymore but within us through the Holy Spirit.
So, we can now boldly open our hearts and lips in prayer, praise & worship anytime, anywhere. Isn’t it wonderful how every one who believes in Jesus has been made a priest of God and can have the privileges of prayer, praise & worship?
Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:16
Let’s pray
Dear Lord, today we choose to thank You for the priestly privileges of prayer, praise and worship that You have so graciously and freely given that many before us didn’t have. May we make use of it knowing that we have access into Your presence at anytime, anywhere and that we don’t have to depend on someone else to come before You. Help us to offer sacrifices of praise to You unendingly and with a heart full of gratitude. Thank You Jesus for making this possible by Your supreme sacrifice. Thank You Holy Spirit for now we are the temple of God because You live in us. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Sometimes in life, we look back at how silly we were in our thoughts or actions and wish we had been a little more sensible, patient and wiser.
As I was leaving a store with my mom and sister, I saw something disturbing that made me pause. It was a dog caught in between the railings of a window and I instantly felt sympathetic for the poor thing. It had no way out- or atleast that’s what I thought!
I’m sorry but I didn’t have the courage to go and help the dog out of his plight. However, I was too curious to simply walk off either. So, I mustered the courage and walked closer to have a clearer view. I stood there astonished and looked on at the dog and it’s surroundings. I was so wrong, so terribly wrong.
The dog was not in a bad place at all. He was in his master’s living room! He was playing around the railings and once he had a good look at the road outside and all the humans he went back to his own business. He was just getting some fresh air and enjoying his freedom.
I was instantly learning a lesson inside my head. Just a little bit of difference in my view changed the whole story from one of joy to that of despair. If I hadn’t taken that little extra effort to come a bit closer and look at it, I would have gone home thinking that the dog was in a sad and miserable state. But things were rather going very well for him. He most probably had a loving master and all that he needed inside that house. He was loved and cared for. He was not even locked in a cage but had acces to the master’s house and space to run around and play.
Sometimes, even in life we just need to take a little more effort to look at things from the right perspective and we will be surprised at how silly we were or how wrong we were to rush to a conclusion and make a wrong judgment of the situation. We might feel like we have come close enough and we have seen it all, but just those few more steps and our view will completely change.
Many think alike about born again Christians too. That they are the most boring people on the planet. They have no fun and too many restrictions. But only if you would make an effort to come a little more closer to God and experience for yourself how blessed we are to have this great God by our side through all our highs and yes, most definitely through our lowest times too. There is no difference, everyone has problems, but there is a big difference in this – we have a loving Father by our side and He is Almighty! We have all we need in Him.
Galatians 5:1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all—how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?
There is a parable that Jesus tells His disciples. It’s about a father and his two sons. ( Luke 15:11-32) The younger one demanded to have his share of the inheritance. So the father gave it to him and soon he left his home to squander all his wealth on “wild living”. He probably thought that it was the most amazing time of his life. But it did not take long for him to realise that money doesn’t stay forever nor does the pleasures of this world. They vanish away like vapour even before we know it. They are temporary. He soon found himself empty and broken. Finally he comes back to his father prepared to plead and ask him to take him back not even as a son but as a servant . But his father’s love for him loked beyond his mistakes and saw his broken and repentant heart and embraced him with arms wide open.
This Christmas, don’t just be satisfied with the sight of the tree and the lights. But come closer to that baby in the crib. He is more than just that helpless looking baby. He is the Saviour of the world, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is God incarnate. And if you believe in Him today then you will be forgiven on account of His sacrifice. You will be saved from your sins and restored to a beautiful and eternal relationship with God. Let’s get a better view of Him this season. Let’s get the right perspective.
A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all!
That spread of color in the sky which leaves a smile on the face of all, small and big alike – the Rainbow. What does it stand for and how did it come to be?
Rainbows are formed when light from the sun is scattered by water droplets (e.g. raindrops or fog) through a process called refraction. Refraction occurs when the light from the sun changes direction when passing through a medium denser than air, such as a raindrop. This is the scientific definition of a rainbow. However, we are going to look at the bigger picture. We are going to take a look at who created all this and caused it to come together and for what specific purpose. Science did not come before man and man did not come before the one who created him, God. So, it is necessary to go to the root of the output and not just explain the output itself. Finally, we will try to analyze if at all there is any scope for mankind to take pride in this.
As humans started to multiply on earth so did sin. This kept increasing till God could no longer stand the sinful ways of man. And so, God decided to sweep out the whole race of mankind from the face of the earth. But one man found favor before God – Noah. Noah and his family were saved, and the rest of mankind and every living being wiped out.
Genesis 6:6-8 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
God saw that every inclination of the heart of man was evil. So then why did God finally change His mind? Did the human heart change from its evil ways and finally turn to God in repentance?
No! We see that God did not make His covenant after the heart of man was changed, we see that the human heart remained the same. It was not a change in man that caused God to step into a covenant with them, rather the unchanging character of God’s compassion that made Him step into a covenant by which He said that never again will He destroy the whole earth and all living creatures even though the heart of man is evil. God in His faithfulness promised not to destroy but provide all that earth required for life.
Genesis 8:21 The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: “Never again will I curse the ground because of humans, even though every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done. “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
And so, the rainbow is a sign of God’s promise with us and every other living creature on earth. (Genesis 9:13-16) Do you see anything in this story in which we can take credit or pride of? By no means, in fact it shows us the deceitfulness of our hearts and how God still chose to forgive us knowing the condition of our hearts. Next time you see a rainbow, take minute to thank God for His love and compassion. That was the sole purpose of the rainbow – to remind us of God’s faithfulness over all of mankind and every living creature who deserved to be destroyed because of their pride, sin and rebellion. But did God just leave us in this state of hopelessness? No. Here is the hope of all the world – Jesus!
Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Thanks be to God who sent His only begotten Son, Jesus, who cleanses us of our sins by His sinless blood that was shed for all. Today, if we believe in Him and His finished work on the cross, we will be made righteous by grace through faith in Jesus. Don’t let your mind paint pictures by what the world has taught over what God’s intended truth is which is found in the scriptures. Let the rainbow make your heart turn to God in gratitude and have nothing that man can take pride in. Take pride in the goodness and faithfulness of this great God. There is nothing in mortal man to take pride.
Jeremiah 9:24 But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth— for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.
