Know God, do not refuse Him, Know God, do not have an uncircumcised heart

"Thus says the LORD: 'Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 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." Jeremiah 9:23-24

God goes through the reality of the Israelites 1)they did not know Him 2)they refused to know Him 3)they had uncircumcised hearts. (Jer. 9)
God was heartbroken that His own people boasted in such filth as riches and mans wisdom.
He did not need them, but He called them. He was not lacking anything, but desired them.
Boast in knowing Me - do you not understand the supremacy of knowing I AM?

"For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places" Ephesians 1:15-20

Lord give me a spirit of wisdom and revelation to know You.
