Psalms 52:1
Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?

Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Wed, Mar. 23, BOAST (Ps. 52:1). Boasting is a temptation for everybody. If a man is not careful, he would fall in this sin. He even might think that this sin is normal. He would continue and keep this sin for long.
1. Boast over wealth.
The easiest reason for a person to boast is wealth. He does not have to be smart or working hard. By being the son of a wealthy parents, he could be wealthy already. He boast over things which is not the result of his achievements.

2. Boast over intelligence.
This is also easily become the reason of his boast. It has become the reason of many people to boast. He boast over his degrees, schools, friends, professors, etc. He would be more arrogant if the degree is limited and difficult to be acquired.

3. Boast over evil.
This is something shocking, how can evil become the reason of his boast. Yes, an evil man could be anything. He even could be the president of a country. Status, position or else has no effect in his character. He could be even more evil with those position. So just let is humble ourselves. ASH.
