Epiphany

"This is what the Lord says: "Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: That they have the understanding to know Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the Lord"-Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV).

Typically, we view boasting as a negative display of prideful bragging. Boasting about knowing God is not an idle boast. God delights in your boastfulness of knowing Him! First you have to acquire the "understanding to know Him." You'll hear people say they've had an epiphany. The definition is the sudden manifestation of the essential nature and meaning of something (or in this case, Someone). An epiphany is an illuminating awakening! Put another way: By the sudden discovery of who God is, that proverbial light bulb above your head turns on and Illuminating Light enters your life. You were blind and now you see. Suddenly, the negative boasting of your wisdom, strength, and riches, become nothing...You know God.
