Who are you in Christ?

You are awesome! You are made in the image and likeness of God. You can do all things through Him who gives you strength. Joel Osteen’s Church has an opening statement for their worship services. It says “This is my Bible. I am what it says I am! I have what it says I have! I can do what it says I can do!…….” Have you read your Bible recently? Did you take note of all the things that it says about you? Here is a short list of things the Bible says about you provided by Joyce Meyers Ministries. There are more!

There are more statements in the Bible about you. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God designed you for great things. He put His spirit in you and ordained the race you are to run. Too often, we forget who we were created to be. Perhaps you can print this list and put it up somewhere where you will see it each morning. After having read it, can you go out and live according to what the Lord says about you in His book? He loves you and has already blessed you beyond measure!

Father, thank You that You bless us daily and have designed us for greatness in you. Lead us in the race You have chosen for us and take us to the destiny You have established. We are Your workmanship created in Christ unto good works. Remind us that You walk with us and bless us each step of the way. In Your name we pray! Amen!
