Boast

This past weekend, Jonathan began a new series entitled, “Never Waste A Crisis” by talking about the fact that we are in the midst of a “perfect storm” when it comes to our finances. The good news is we don’t have to waste this experience. God, if we will let Him, can use this crisis (or any crisis) to make some important changes in our life.

Last week, we experimented with the spiritual discipline of memorization. We are going to continue that effort, as we begin this week, by working on memorizing what Jonathan called the “theme verse” for this week.


Psalm 20:7
Some nations boast of their chariots and horses, but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.

Boast. Another translation replaces “boast” with “trust”. In his message, Jonathan suggested a more contemporary spin on this verse might be ... Some trust in bank accounts and some in stock portfolios, but we trust in God. I know it is easy to say we trust in God; but do we really mean it. If someone monitored our life for a week ... how we used our time, where we spent our money, etc. .... what would they discover about who or what we trust?
