Mike "The Mouth" Matusow didn't do well in Sunday's match, losing in the opening round. NBC's Ali Nejad read him well, saying he didn't seem ready. In fact, Matusow seemed downright quiet while on camera -- not sounding boastful, except for one small moment when he won a pot.
Perhaps age is mellowing "The Mouth" a bit. But you're never too young to learn this lesson from the apostle Paul....
May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. -- Galatians 6:14
You could win a massive pot at the World Series of Poker, but still wind up losing the tournament. And ultimately, you can't take poker winnings with you beyond this life. The only hope for an eternal win is through a relationship with Christ Jesus....
....who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." -- I Corinthians 1:30-31
So what has Christ done for you lately? The comments are open.
