What Do You Think About Yourself?
“He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.” (Proverbs 19:8)
Today’s Morsel: What do you think about yourself? If you had to do an honest assessment of you, where would you fall on the scale? Would you be a loving and kind person? A depressed and stressful person? One who could care less about life? A person who thinks that they have been dealt a bad hand in life. Or would you be one who is kind, loving, considerate, brave, and excited with life? A lot of people rate their life based on others. Who their parents may be. Other’s looks. Where others live. The academics of others. What others possess. And even what others say about them. If we base our lives based on these things, we are always going to fall short and live in a despondent state. You should rate yourself based on the word of God. As that is the standard for every life. What others have and may think of you is not who you are. Who you are is who God says that you are. If a person is considered by some to be ugly, it’s usually based on their character. You can be, as Fred Sanford would tell Esther on the show Sanford and Son, that she was so ugly that she could put her face in a pan of dough and make some gorilla cookies, because that was how he saw her based on her actions. But a life in Christ, filled with God’s wisdom, ought to reveal His beauty. Solomon stated that he that loves wisdom loves himself. Wisdom should cause one to be wise and understand that it is only through God that we live, move, and have our being. It is not what someone else may think of us.
Sing: Wonderful, wonderful, Jesus is to me. Counselor, Prince of peace, Mighty God is He. Saving me, keeping me, from all sin and shame. Wonderful is my Redeemer, praise His name.
Thought For Today: “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.” (Proverbs 3:13)
