Jeremiah 9:24 But
let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am
the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
As you can see, it's a verse for the boastful.
What do I see? I see God making an allowance for boasting. Let anyone who wants to be proud of something choose this to be proud of. If anything, it seems that in God eyes, this, knowing him to be the God who practices steadfast love, justice and righteousness everywhere, is the pinnacle of life accomplishments.
I think to know Him for what He is, to really know Him to be as He says He requires me to experience His works such that when I think back on them, I can say, soberly
"Yes, You are who You are"
And that's really a life achievement. To experience God so fully I know Him to be who He says He is.
And it is humbling, because the greatest boast will have nothing to do with me.
