Who am I?
"HE CHOSE THE WEAK THINGS OF THIS WORLD TO PUT THE POWERFUL TO SHAME." 1 CORINTHIANS 1:27

A lot of people spend time trying to work out 'Who am I?'. For Christians the question is slightly different, 'Whose am I?' When you invited Jesus into your life, everything changed. For starters you're not an outsider anymore but a fully accepted member of God's family, with an open door to your heavenly Father and all the cool stuff that goes with that. Knowing whose you are allows you to live your life from a place of strength and not weakness, faith and not fear. Yes you still have limitations but you won't be afraid of getting things wrong; you'll be secure enough in God's strength to let Him step in and help you when you're stuck. All this raises that age-old question; why does God use 'weak' people? Because weak people are aware of their need for help! 'Weak' people pray to God differently! They remember where they were when God found them and what He brought them through, and they say, 'It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect' (Psalm 18:32 NKJ).[k1] That old geezer Job knew whose he was and it made it possible for him to not give up even when it hurt. Listen: 'I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread' (Job 23:12 AMP). You belong to God, treasure that today. Word4U2Day
