“During that time the devil came and said to Him, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.’”
There is an old saying that “If you don’t know who you are, the world will tell you.” I want to encourage you today to not let the world tell you who you are. Instead, remember who God says you are. In Matthew 3:17, God identified Jesus as His dearly loved Son. Isn’t it amazing in the very next chapter the devil brings Jesus’ identity into question by saying “if” you are the Son of God…? Of course Jesus remembered who He was because God said it.
The devil knows he can’t pluck you out of God’s hand. So, what he will try to do is attack your identity. He will try to make you forget you are a child of God. He will try to make you forget you are joint heir with Jesus Christ. He will try to make you forget you’re His chosen people. When you know who you are in Christ, the devil in hell cannot stop you! You address stress differently, you handle anxiety with scripture, you look at obstacles as growth opportunities. Why? Because you know who you are. Don’t let the world tell you who you are when God already has.

Heavenly Father, thank You for telling me who I am through Your word. I don’t have to define myself through the world’s eye, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made in You. I am Your child. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
This is my prayer
