It may seem strange to think of boasting as good; after all, the word boast means “to puff oneself up in speech,” and pride is condemned in Scripture (e.g., Proverbs 11:2). Therefore, it is safe to say that if anyone must boast, they should boast in the Lord.
The phrase “boast in the Lord” is found in 1 Corinthians 1:31, where Paul, quoting Jeremiah 9:24, says, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” Paul is obviously not talking about sinful boasting.
Psalms 34:2 AMP says; My soul makes its boast in the Lord; The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.“

True boasting in the Lord is actually boasting of the Lord—boasting of His great attributes, boasting of what He has done for us, of what He is still doing and of what He has promised to do.
As Jeremiah 9:23-24 tells us, “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.”
Father, I pray that You would give us the wisdom to boast in the Lord it at all I must boast. Help me to only boast in You! In Jesus mighty name I pray . Amen
Have a blessed day
