Study: Boasting

In this lesson, we will study what the scriptures say about boasting, particularly about ourselves.

Read Daniel 4:28-31 about King Nebuchadnezzar when he boasted about himself.

Read Acts 12:21.   What happened to King Herod when he received the praises of men?

(Please note: In NIV version, the word boast(ing) is used, while in the King James, the word glory, or glorying is used. They mean the same thing…to brag about, or to uplift in praise.)

Read Proverbs 27:2
Avoid Self Praise


Read 1 Peter 5:5
Clothe yourself always with humility


Read Proverbs 27:21
The Lord tests you by your reaction to praise (remember King Herod)
Angels know who deserves all the praise (Revelation 19: 9-10).

Read Psalm 44:1-8
Praise God for the victories in your life


Read Ephesians 2:8-9
Don’t boast, but praise God for your salvation


Read 1 Corinthians 1: 25-31
There’s nothing for you to boast about, except Christ


Read Jeremiah 9:23-24
There is nothing to boast about, except the Lord


Read Psalm 34: 1-2
Soul, boast in the Lord
