August 17, 2020, we talked about capturing your image… letting that be your guiding compass. Here we are 2 years later still tackling the same thing…who am I?
We’ve got a real identity crisis going on. People don’t know who they are because they don’t know who God made them to be. When we don’t know who God made us to be, we don’t know who we are in every other area of our life…right down to the basics. Am I a boy or a girl? Am I supposed to be strong or weak. Do I do this or do I do that. We have people telling us in the name of God who we are and what we should be doing. Why can’t we just let God speak for himself and tell us? He knows best.
We need a clear voice of direction assuring us there is a stronger power involved for good than the magnamonious (apparently this is not a real word anymore, but is has been used in the past 🙂 ) voices of fear bullying us to impulsive and later regretful thoughts and deeds. We need a standard.
What is a standard? A standard is a measurement; it is a guide; it’s like an anchor. A standard lets us compare what we see and hear—all that is going on around us—with who we’re meant to be. A standard is a reference point…something we can look at and say, OK, this is where I’m headed, this is what I am aiming for. We can keep our eyes fixed on it and know we will end up at the right place. It’s like a goal.
A standard is also like an anchor. It will hold us on course and when the wind, hail, debris and chaff are blowing around us, we will not get caught up with it and blown away, but we will be held steady.
We will be held strong in God and He said we will do exploits!….Great Things!
Get ready. Get God. Get going!!!
