Praising Oneself

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips.

Each of us has become like something unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all wither like a leaf, and our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

For no word from God will ever fail.”

He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

But God proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
