Today's devotion is from 1 Peter 2:9-10 NLT
You are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. "Once you had no identity; now you are God's people...”
DO NOT BE DEFINED BY A MISTAKEN IDENTITY!
Do not allow yourself to be defined by your past. Do not allow yourself to be defined by what you used to be. Forget what lies behind you and press forward towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
YOUR TRUE IDENTITY CAN ONLY BE REVEALED IN GOD’S MIRROR
2 Corinthians 3:15-18 (paraphrase) But even to this day, when [the Word] is read, a veil lies on unbeliever’s hearts. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord [and gets saved,] the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, [As we meditate on the Word] beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image [That we see in the Word] from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
THE WORD OF GOD IS GOD’S MIRROR
When we meditate on Scripture, we are looking into God’s mirror and It not only reflects our TRUE identity, IT TRANSFORMS us as we look into it!
The Word of God is alive and full of POWER, GLORY and TRANSFORMING ANOINTING.
The devil hates the Word because of it’s power, so he does anything he can to keep us from looking into God’s mirror. He knows that you will never discover your true identity without it, and he knows that as soon as you discover who you are in Christ, his days of deception, manipulation and control are over!
As we discover our TRUE IDENTITY, no longer will we settle for less, give in to limitations, or settle for compromise.
