Our identity is often shaped by what happens to us and around us, but that is the opinion of the world, not God’s opinion.
Let us declare and establish our Identity in Christ according to:
Psa139:15,16 ‘ You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.'(NLT)
When I was formed, Father, I was already planned, already, part of Your plan! My days were written down, even before the world was made. (Eph 1: 4) Thank You, Father, that I was created so wonderful and unique, that You have a plan for me!
PS: God planned everything well. He gave man the power on earth, which means we can make choices and decisions. I have a choice whether I want to follow God’s plan for me. Our lives are affected by the fallen world in which we live because man has given power over to the devil. However, Jesus came to pay the ransom on our behalf and to take back the power (dominion, authority).
