Who am I???

Reading: 2 Kings 9-10 and Revelation 19

Thoughts: Here in western society, we tend to wrap our identity around what we do, I’m a repair man, I’m an accountant, or I’m a customer service person. Our jobs and sources of income will change on average of 12 time in a lifetime and in the last 10 years or so I think that has been going up fast. There is an identity crisis in this world. Jehu went from working for a king as a commander to being anointed by God, God has spoken an identity over each of us and is it a job title or is it son, daughter, and beloved. Where are we drawing our identity, from the one who created us and knows us better than we know ourselves or from what the world is trying to push on us?

Prayer: Father God, I stand in awe of you and fall on my face in worship. I thank you that you know me and love me even through my failures. I thank you that you are still growing me, molding me, and refining me. I ask you to help me to see myself as you see me and not as the world tells me I should be seen.
