Is Your Identity Your Idol?

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.Revelation 3:20 

I was thinking of this and came up with a few identities formerly or now for myself. Athlete, gym girl, runner, hiker, movie goer, Ohio girl, Army officer, energizer bunny, Superintendents kid, writer and so forth. Is your identity rooted in what you do and what you want people to know about you and admire or is it rooted in Christ?

Perhaps you were on fire for the Lord at one time but somehow got derailed by the culture who made you think you don’t need ‘religion’. Deep down if you once trusted Christ as your savior what caused that identity to be thrown in the recycle bin? 

You may need to have your spiritual fire relit and you may even need new friends. If your peers live more for the culture forgetting Christ it may be time for a re-set. Have you found a church home to build relationships in or is Sunday your play day? You need a place to go to worship Christ as King and one where God’s word is honored and taught. Start today and search your heart. Forgive yourself for mistakes and ask God to help you find your identity in Him. 

PRAYER: Lord forgive me when I have tossed my faith aside and let this culture and its lies and temptations shape me. I pray for anyone I know stuck in a rut who needs to run back to Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
