Psalm 40:2 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
We all have days when we feel low, maybe we've started listening to some of the lies of the enemy and we start to feel 'less than'. So what is the antidote to those low days?
We have to remember who we really are - a child of the Most High God, we belong to Him and we've been adopted into His family. God is now our Father, Jesus is our brother and we've been filled with His Holy Spirit - He's living on the inside of us. You are not just 'you' any more, because of 'Who' lives in you. That's our solid ground.😊
We have to remind ourselves constantly that we're fearfully and wonderfully made, that we are God's masterpiece, that we are one of a kind. There's no need, in fact it's unhelpful, to compare ourselves to someone else. God gave you the right looks, the right personality and the right gifts for the road He designed for you to walk on. God has anointed you to do whatever He calls you to do, and He says He has victory in store for the righteous, that's you and me.
God wants us to hold our head up high, put our shoulders back and remember who we really are, who He has made us to be. He says we're more than a conqueror, we're a victor not a victim.We have God's approval because of Jesus and we have on His royal robe of righteousness, we're wearing His crown of loving kindness and tender mercies.
Now let's 'see' ourselves the way God sees us, the way we really are - you are one of the jewels in His crown, you are special to Him and He gave you gifts and talents no one else has. He only has one like you and you matter so much to Him. He has something for you to do that only you can do.
If you feel a bit low today let Him lift you back up, out of the pit of despair - to see who you really are, because of who God has made you to be in Jesus. Thank You Jesus! Amen.
