我们与生俱来都喜欢夸口。我们一般人总是夸耀自己的聪明、机智、才能、本领等。整个人类也都在夸口，夸耀人的文明与先进。其实，实际的说我们人都是在夸耀自己，如自己知道什么，或是能做到什么。那么，当我们信了主之后，第一个发现的就是“原来有创造主”，而他是一切创造物的源头。原来一切的能力与智慧都来自祂。从那时起，我们要从夸耀自己转为夸耀这位主，这是一个极大的属灵功课！有些人好像是在夸耀主说：“神给了我这个，给了我那个”，如好成绩、好事业等，但好像是在夸耀自己。因为他一旦没有了那所谓的“这个或那个”，他马上陷入低谷，他的心无法感恩。所以，真知道怎么夸耀主的人是如同约伯失去一切后说：“赏赐的是耶和华，收取的也是耶和华。耶和华的名是应当称颂的！”《伯1:21》那另外也有一些信徒是只有在正面的事情上才夸耀主。例如：在取得好的成绩，或在事业中取得好的业绩，或是养育品学兼优的孩子，将这些分享出来就是指着主夸口。那么若是如此，在我们所遭遇不理想或不乐观的事物时，我们怎么指着主夸口呢？若我们只有带着这类“夸口主”的观念，我们就很容易落入只有寻求一种乐观的情况或正面的结果来荣耀神。这样一来，神就不是我们能够凡事夸口的对象，乃是只有在某些情况才能夸口的。另外有些信徒则是先有自己一套生活的方法和对策，例如：怎么处理人际关系，怎么规划生活，怎么理财等。那么，他常常说：“荣耀归给主，归给那叫我凡事亨通，尽都顺利的主”。确实，他能够有这么正面的态度，对人生有这么周全的设想，那的确是神的恩典。但是一旦他遭遇了难关或在人生中遇到瓶颈，他晓得怎么靠主走出那困境吗？倘若他欠缺这方面的经历，他的心就无法全然的靠主，唯有在自己“能”的范围内夸口主，不能在自己“不能”的范围内夸口主。所以，有的人心里常会问这个问题说：“我自己无论是在学习或工作上都很努力，所以无论做什么都取得美好的成绩，那么我怎么知道那是主的祝福，还是我自己的努力？”或者也有人问说：“到底是我天资好，格性好，所以我很受欢迎，还是这都是神的祝福和恩典所带来的？”其实，一个人有勤奋的特性，有优越的天资，或优良的品性，那都是神的恩典。但问题是当他没有办法领悟到这一切都是来自神的恩典，他的心就不能确实的指着主夸口，他凡事依靠主的心也不产生。因此，在神的救恩要临到人的事情上，神知道人的骄傲是最大的阻挡。有时人的骄傲并不是表面态度的骄傲，乃是灵魂的骄傲。灵魂的骄傲叫人将神拯救人的道理看为愚拙的，因为他们有三种的不信。第一，他们不信神的儿子所带来的救赎，他们反倒相信功德，以致认为能以自己的善意与善行自救；第二，骄傲的人轻看信心，重视肉体。他们不信单凭信心就能经历神的能力与智慧，他们只相信眼见之物。所以一谈到能力，一定要有神迹。一谈到智慧，他们只信这世人的学问；第三，骄傲的人不相信那人看来愚拙的、软弱的、卑贱的，能因着神的帮助成为聪明的、刚强的、尊贵的。《雅4:6》却告诉我们神阻挡骄傲的人，但赐更多的恩典给谦卑的人。正当这个世界继续在以自己所能所懂的来夸口时，神要寻找与赐福那谦卑人，就是那在内心里真能指着主夸口的人。

It is in our innate nature to like to boast. Generally, people always boast of their intelligence, wit, talent, ability, etc. The entire human race is also boasting of human civilization and advancement. Practically speaking, we humans are all boasting about ourselves, such as what we know, or what we can do. Then, when we believe in the Lord, the first thing we discover is that "there is a Creator Lord", and He is the source of all creation. It turns out that all power and wisdom come from Him. Since then, we will turn from boasting of ourselves to boasting of the Lord. This is a great spiritual lesson! Some people seem to be boasting in the Lord by saying, "God gave me this, and gave me that", such as good grades, good career, etc., but at the same time, they seem to be boasting of themselves. Because the moment he does not have these so-called "this or that", he immediately falls into a trough and his heart cannot be thankful. Therefore, the one who truly knows how to boast in the Lord is like Job who having lost everything said, "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised!" <Job 1:21> There are also some believers who can only boast in the Lord in positive things. For example, after achieving good results, achieving good performance in their career, or raising a child with good academic performance, and by sharing these means they are boasting in the Lord. If this is so, how do we boast in the Lord when we encounter something that is not ideal or optimistic? If we only have such a concept of "boasting in the Lord", we can easily fall into a situation where we can only glorify God after seeking an optimistic or positive outcome. In this way, God is not the object of our ability to boast in all things, but instead we are only able to boast in the Lord in certain circumstances. In addition, some believers have their own methods and life strategies, such as how to manage interpersonal relationships, how to plan their life, how to manage money, etc. Such people often say, "May glory be to the Lord, to the Lord who has made everything possible and well." Indeed, he can have such a positive attitude and such thorough consideration of life, it is indeed God's grace. But once he encounters difficulties or bottlenecks in his life, does he know how to rely on the Lord to get out of that predicament? If he lacks experience in this area, his heart cannot rely on the Lord at all. Only in the context of his "ability" can he boast in the Lord; in his “disability”, he cannot boast in the Lord. Therefore, some people often ask this question in their hearts, "I give my best whether it is in my studies or my work. Hence, I am able to achieve good results no matter what I do. How do I then know if the good outcome is a blessing of the Lord or from my own effort?” Or some people may ask, “So is it my gift, or my personality that brought about my popularity, or is this all brought by God's blessing and grace?" Actually, if a person has diligent characteristics, superior talents, or excellent character, it is by the grace of God. But the problem is, when he has no way of realizing that all of these come from the grace of God, his heart cannot truly boast in the Lord. He would also not have a heart that relies on the Lord in all things. Therefore, God knows that human pride is the greatest obstacle to God's salvation coming to people. Sometimes the pride of man is not just a proud attitude as seen from the surface, but it is the pride of the soul. The pride of the soul causes people to regard God’s salvation as foolish because they have three types of unbelief. First, they do not believe in the redemption brought by the Son of God. They believe in merit and that they can save themselves with their good intentions and deeds. Second, proud people despise faith but value the flesh. They do not believe that they can experience the power and wisdom of God by faith alone. They only believe in what they see. So when it comes to power, there must be miracles. When it comes to wisdom, they only believe in the knowledge of this world. Third, proud people do not believe that those who seem foolish, weak and inferior can become intelligent, strong and honorable with the help of God. However, <James 4:6> tells us that, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” As the world continues to boast of what it can and what it knows, God wants to find and bless the humble, the one who can truly boast in the Lord in his heart.
