We’ve just spent several days discovering what God says about us in the Bible. How would your life be different today if you saw yourself the way God sees you? How would your identity change if it was based on these things that God says about you?
Where you find your identity matters. You can base it on your career, but you could lose your job someday. You can form it around what people think of you, but their opinions can waver. You can place your identity in health, relationships, or accomplishments, but they can change at a moment’s notice.
In contrast, God’s word never will. Your zodiac sign, your personality type, or your Doritos flavor might say something about who you are, but none of that can override what God says about you. When you root your identity in him, you can rest assured that what he says about you is absolute, unshakeable truth.
