FAITH CAPSULE: Live life for the glory of God to answer who you are.

Mark 8

Are you one that cannot identify or define who you are?
Jesus, our Lord, and savior sought the answer in His question from His disciples, “who do men say that I am” (Mark 8:27) 
The question by Jesus was not to evaluate Himself but, it is a lesson for all to be aware of who they are.    
On a serious note, who are you? 
Are you a believer or, are you an acclaimed believer? 
Are you a man that is mouth full of the word of God with an empty heart of the word of God?  
Does your life reflect Christ? 
Are you a Bible that people can read or an acclaimed Bible that is not readable before anyone? 
Man is deceivable, but no one can deceive God. 
Many are with promotion, with titles inside and outside the church but not promoted before God. 
There are self-acclaimed with titles such as prophet, apostles but cannot answer who they are. 
Today, forget about your titles, live life for God, engaging tasks that matter before God.
The individual should be able to answer the question as stated: “Who are you” All should know who they are before God. 
One with deception to the neighbor, the family, or the world can lure deceptively but, God cannot be a victim of deception devices. 
Without a doubt, the walk, the stand, and where one sits are a pointer of who one is like before God.
Who are you in all endeavors?
Psalm 1:1 record, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” (Psalm 1:1) When the word of God declares blessing, it is established in heaven and on earth. 
It is how one walks, sits, and stands by the standard of God is blessed just as declared by the word of God. 
Life is a journey, and who you surround yourself with shall determine what you get out of life. 
Think, on a serious note, who are you? 
Whose word do you believe? 
Are you living life by the word of God or the word of this world? 
The word of God is an assurance to lead man to be walking, sitting, or standing for the name of God if one will turn back to the wicked world. Assurance and reliance on God will bring delight in the life of one live life by the word of God.
Meditating on the law (word of God) is the avenue not to walk outside the way of God. The Psalmist identifies the blessing of walking, sitting, and standing in line with God stating, “He shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.” (Psalm 1:3)
Get to know who you are.

Prayer for today: Pray that God enables you to live life for His glory.
