Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
If someone asked who are you, what would you say? Of course you would give your name. What if they asked how do you see yourself? We each identify with many different factors in our life.
Do you identify yourself by your job, family relationship, race, politics, age, your health or physical appearance, schooling, your abilities or disabilities? Your religious belief? What if one of these changed? Would that change who you are? I think outward appearances and circumstances do change. To figure out who you are I think looking within yourself helps to define yourself.
1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness in to his wonderful light".
1 Samuel 16:7 - But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for [the LORD seeth] not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
Until next time
