Today, in our daily devotional, Identity in God’s Word, for February 13, let’s look at the vital topic for the Christian that our true self is not defined by the standards of the world but by the divine truths expressed by our Creator.
Daily Devotional for February 13
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
Your True Self in Christ
It is human nature to search, discover, lose, and search again. This is human nature, and you can do nothing about it. “The hearts of the people are fickle” (Hosea 10:2).
However, we have the advantage of being able to base our search on information about the world and us that comes directly from our Creator – God.
Finding your identity in God’s Word is the key to a life full of joy and victory, the abundant life that Jesus promised.
The Battle for Your Mind
You may often face the challenge of negative thoughts and lies that seek to erode your confidence. Remember, the mind is where many spiritual battles are fought, with the enemy aiming to make you question your worth and God’s love.
Identity in God’s Word
The antidote to the enemy’s lies is the enduring truth of God’s Word. When doubts arise, ground yourself in Scripture, affirming who God says you are. You are more than a conqueror, equipped and strengthened by Christ to overcome any obstacle.
The Power of Declaration
There’s incredible power in declaring God’s promises over your life. When you vocalize truths such as your victory in Christ and your strength through Him, you reinforce your identity in God’s Word and fortify your spirit against the enemy’s deception.
Your Authority in Christ
As a child of God, you possess authority over the enemy’s lies. By knowing and declaring your identity in God’s Word, you disarm the falsehoods meant to derail you from your God-given path.
