A Word in Season for God's afflicted ones

"Thus saith the L ORD , Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: b ut let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am the L ORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the L ORD ." -J EREMIAH 9:23-24 [KJV] “ And THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL , that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent .” -JOHN 17:3 [KJV]
