Identity Crisis

How often do you forget who you are? For me it is a daily thing; let me explain. If there is one thing I do on a daily basis, it's getting in the flesh. Sub-conscientiously I must be thinking I am someone I'm not. How often do we say we believe that God is all powerful, all knowing and can be every where at once? Now ask yourself this, "How often do I try to wrestle control away from God?" Somewhere along the way we actually think we are in control and that we could do a much better job than God is doing. After all, He is not doing things the way I would. At that point SELF becomes the center of our life.

Job had it all, wealth, possessions, good family, and a strong faith in God. The Bible says there was no other man on earth that loved God more. One day God allowed all but his faith to be taken away. Satan wanted to show God that Job only loved God because of physical things. Job stood tall until he decided he should defend God to his friends. At that point God stepped in to remind Job who he was and who God was. By the time God finished speaking, Job could say nothing more, but repented and God restored him.

The point is this, we cannot even begin to imitate God or to explain him, so let Him represent himself. Try not to have an Identity Crisis this week, and enjoy the Journey God has you on; no matter the roads taken or the bumps you may encounter.
