Psalm 103:14 (NIV)
14 for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are dust.
he remembers that we are dust.
It is significant that our first astronauts, while being
trained for their moon flights, were required to give twenty answers to the
query, “Who are you?” Take the same test yourself. When you have made your list
and run out of things to add, ask yourself if you have truly answered. Do you
really know who you are? Scientists agree that our desperate search leads all
humans to seek heroes and to imitate others, to “paste bits and pieces of other
people on ourselves.” We make love as some actor would. We play golf in the
style of Jack Nicklaus. Part of this process is natural, for we learn by
imitating others. The tragedy is that the person we assemble is not genuine.
“Who am I?” you cry as you roam the world looking for yourself. Consider this:
there are three of you. There is the person you think you are. There is the
person others think you are. There is the person God knows you are and can be
through Christ.
Thought for today:
Do you know who you are in Christ?
