How do you feel about yourself today? I’m about a 6 out of 10!!
What kind of things would need to happen to make you feel better about yourself or worse about yourself?
I can imagine, if you’re anything like me, then things like getting through the to do list, having a good catch up with a friend, “hearing” the scales say I’ve lost a pound would maybe push me up to a 7 or an 8… while getting a critical email, forgetting someone’s birthday or discovering another grey hair could see the number fall below 5!!
We can so often, even inadvertently, let the world determine how we feel about ourselves and not believe the one who created us and made us to be like Him! The bible says SO MUCH about our identity (masses more than it says about who we marry or what job we should do) and we’ll be looking at that on Wednesday in W2W…
but meanwhile…
take time out today to read Psalm 139…
Our all knowing God knows every intricate detail of our lives, our everywhere present God is in us and with us wherever we go today, our all wise God made us the way we are for his glory and his good purposes (“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” – Praise him for making you the way he did!). And at the end of the Psalm, David sides with God and says "I’m on your side God! Lead me in your ways!!"
How do you feel about yourself today? Let your response be determined by who God says you are. He’s the one who knows you and made you. Choose to be on his side, unshaken by the enemies lies!!
Hope to see you on Wednesday
