Know The WHO That Made You…..

How do you measure your life? What standards do you weigh your goals or base your motivation? What do you use to help get you through the down times? The blah times? What makes you get out of bed each day? For me it’s God’s word. I have based my life upon His truth since I was born. Truth matters. It’s what I weigh my virtue with. It’s what I use to make decisions. It’s my worldview, my attitude, how I interpret the world. The thing that keeps me going is I know that this standard never changes; it will last throughout eternity. Thus, I know it’s something I can depend on and never be concerned about it changing. God’s standard (His truth) helps me keep a real, honest perspective of myself. In other words it builds me up when I’m down, and keeps me grounded when I start to think “I’m too big for my britches”. I wonder what standard people use who don’t know God? Do they even have a standard? What’s it like to live without standards? I truly believe without a standard, living life is like being tossed around on waves, never knowing what’s coming next. In the pursuit of knowing “self”, it’s easy to get caught up in the deception of the standards the world wants to label us by. There’s no consistency in life without standards. There’s no accurate way to measure our character. No wonder people do all kinds of bizarre things trying to “find themselves”, never really knowing if it’s true. God’s standard is the one and only true way to know who you are and what your worth in this life. It’s the only way to view yourself from an honest and proper perspective. The only true way to know who you are, is to know The Who that made you.

3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us. Romans 12:3
