– Scripture:

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy.

                         Psalm 107:2, NKJV

– Reflection:

Who Do You Say You Are?

Arthur, there are a lot of voices in life trying to define us and tell us who we are. Some voices are uplifting, telling us we’re talented and can do great things. Others are negative, telling us that there’s nothing special about us. Our own thoughts will try to label us with “you made too many mistakes and missed your chance.” It’s easy to wonder, “Who am I? Am I talented or ordinary? Am I strong and confident or weak and insecure? Do I have a bright future, or have I blown it?”

Where do we go from here?

Here’s the key: The only voice that matters is your voice. Who do you say you are? What you choose is what you will become. Instead of letting people or circumstances define you, you must return to what God says about you. God says, “You can do all things through Christ. You’re equipped and empowered.” Other voices will tell you, “The problem’s too big. You don’t have what it takes.” You have the final choice. Who do you say you are?

Our Prayer for Today

Father, thank You that nothing anyone says about us can change what You have said about us. Thank You that we are who You say we are, and we can say so. We believe we are redeemed, a masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made in Your image. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
