Confident Identity

Can you begin to imagine the intelligence of God? Let's start here. The scripture Psalms 147:4 states, "He determined the stars and called them EACH by name." So, do you know how many stars God created? Astronomers estimate 200 billion trillion stars in the "observable" universe. That's 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! 

Now that you have an inkling of God's Almighty power and intelligence, I want you to think about who you are in God, for YOU were created in His own image and likeness. (Genesis 1:26-27).

To go further, when God created you, He did so with specificity. How do I know this? Scientists have found that no two individuals, not even identical twins, have the same fingerprints. To put things in perspective, an estimated 8 billion people live on earth, and twice as many people have lived and died. Yet, no one has had the exact configuration of fingerprints. Stop and look at your hands…You can barely see your fingerprint patterns with the naked eye. That is astonishing and points right back to the FACT that God's power and level of creativity are infinite!

Ponder on this…. You are so cherished by God, and He knows you intimately. For example, He knows the exact number of hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30 and Luke 12:7), and just like King David said, He knows all your movements and is familiar with all your ways. Before you speak, He knows what you will say. (Psalms 139: 1-4). The bottom line is you are God's masterpiece, and He created you for a particular purpose and to do good works. (Ephesians 2:10). 

Our purpose in life is the very meaning of our existence, and without knowing this, we often suffer ignorance of our own significance. We fall prey to the illusion that our lives don't matter, and we have no connection or impact on the world around us. Many of us allow our genealogy, downward circumstances, past mistakes, experienced trauma, etc., to blind us from seeing who we are in God and how God sees us.  However, I encourage you to take the challenge to fully love and embrace who the Creator has designed you to be! You should walk confidently, knowing you have God's DNA and inherited a portion of His intelligence. 

To sum it up, 

#ConfidentIdentity. No one has my fingerprints. I was made with specificity and for a purpose.
