Mirror, Mirror on the wall...
by Shawanda Harden
8/12/2015 / Christian Living
"For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was." James 1:23-24 NKJV
WHO do you see when you look into the mirror? Now who do you see without the mirror? So often we go through life making choices that doesn't really line up with who we are. Have you ever said or did something that was out of your character and later asked yourself, "Why in the world did I do that?"
Life's struggles can sometimes distort the image of YOU, if you allow it! One key is to know who you are before you are faced with struggle! Struggle will beat its chest, manhandle you and tell you that you are combative, hopeless, angry, defensive and even worthless! When we don't know who we are, we are subject to people and circumstances filling in the blanks for us. BUT know that GOD has already spoken in his word who we are because we belong to him!
First, he say's we are made in his image, so we are like him! We are not God, but we were made with the authority to speak life and death just like him! So we have the power to speak life into that troubling marriage, strayed child, or broken heart. We have the power to speak death to suicidal thoughts, temptations, or financial hardships!
We are also more than conquerors and my favorite for all the women out there, we are more precious than rubies! God's word is filled with proclamations of who his people are but you also need to define your own self and stay true to it! We must imprint the knowledge of who we are on our hearts and carry it with us daily, especially in how we respond to people and challenging situations.
Just how we can forget God's word, we can also forget who we are by not doing what we know! So I ask again, who do you see without the mirror? Now go live it!
