What is the difference between rejoicing and boasting?

Thomas R. Valletta

“Ammon’s expression of his joy caused Aaron to voice concern that perhaps Ammon was beginning to boast of his success (see Alma 26:10). However, through Ammon’s reply we can discern the principles upon which true joy is founded. … Divine joy is available to all who are willing to serve the Lord with the same degree of commitment as Ammon and his companions” (Williams, “Instruments in the Hands of God,” 103).
