Do you know who you are?

Psalms 100:3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

My wife was a preschool teacher in Philadelphia years back when she was new believer. She told me once, how sometimes, when her little students would have a quarrel amongst themselves, one would inevitably come running to her crying “So and so called me stupid!” My clever wife would always reply, “Well — are you stupid?” Without fail, that little red-faced, button-nosed three or four year old would ponder for a moment, shrug back, look up at her and timidly say no. Well, okay then — so go and play! And just like that, the quarrel was over and playtime would resume as if nothing happened.

We need to take a lesson from those little preschoolers! Our enemy loves to be mean and call us names — but we must take a moment and remember who we are! We’re not stupid — we’re not ugly — we’re not defeated — we’re not useless!

On the contrary! We are fearfully and wonderfully made! We are loved and cared for dearly! We’re victorious! We are kings and priests! We have a divine purpose and calling to fulfill today!

Let’s not allow anyone to dictate who or what we are! God has already made it very clear who we are — and we need to memorize what He said and not forget — especially when the accuser comes our way!
