What happens when the things we trust most begin to fail? Jeremiah 9:23 invites us to build on something deeper.
“Thus says the LORD: ‘Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the wealthy man boast in his riches.’”
This verse reminds us how easily we attach our worth to things that do not last. A sharp mind, a strong body, or material success may seem impressive, but all of them are fragile.
Wisdom can fail, strength can fade, and riches can vanish. God calls us to build our identity on something deeper. Build your trust on God. What rests in Him stands firmer than anything this world can offer.

Prayer: Lord, keep me from trusting passing things, and teach my heart to rest in You alone, where true worth remains.
