DEVO. 07.23.24
"Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations— that's what I had in mind for you."
(Jeremiah 1:5 MSG)
- Before you were anything, you were something to God.
- Before any of your failures and before any of your success, you were called by God.
- You were appointed by God.
- That means that you don't have to go out and try to prove you are valuable.
- you don't have to try and get someone's acceptance.
- You don't have to try and earn your self worth.
- God has holy Plans for you even before "You saw the light of day".
- God chose you before anything you can see and before anything you have ever done.
- Stop trying to put all of your energy into getting something that you already have.
- Realize who you are and what you have.
- You are accepted by God.
- You are loved by Him and there is nothing you can do to make Him love you any more.
- Our Goal is to simply accept and receive that love.
- You are already have His acceptance so go walk it out.
- You already have His approval, so give it to others.
- You already have His Love, so now spread it to everyone around you.
- He said, "You are a prophet to the nations"
- In other words, you are His representative.
- You are His mouthpiece.
- and when Jeremiah said, "Hold it, Master God! Look at me. I don't know anything. I'm only a boy!" (Jer.1:6)
- God said, "Don't say, 'I'm only a boy.' I'll tell you where to go and you'll go there. I'll tell you what to say and you'll say it. Don't be afraid of a soul.
I'll be right there, looking after you."
- In other words - Get rid of the excuses.
- Stop saying I can't... just say "God can"
- And if the Spirit of God who raised Christ from the dead lives in you (Rom. 8:11)...
- Then you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you! (Phil. 4:13)
- He is right there with you every step of the way!
- Have a great Tuesday!
