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." http://esv.to/Jer9.24
This verse forces me to my idols, calling me to dethrone them from my heart and then look to God in his glory: the reason why I live.
Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. (Acts 5:41-40 ESV)
The apostles rejoiced about carrying the name of Jesus even after being beaten for continuing to preach the word. This is convicting considering how comfortable being a christian has become in my daily life.
