I
don’t know about you, but I often struggle with all the voices around me
telling me things about myself. Sometimes,
those voices are from friends and family. Sometimes it is voices from my past, and
sometimes, even my own voice that echoes in my head.
When
the voices cloud out the truth about who God says I am, I need a reminder of
the Truth He has said about me. I
learned years ago that the best way for me to remember who God says I am is by
writing down and memorizing Bible verses about who God says I am.
Here
are some favorites…
I
will never be shaken.
I wait quietly
before God,
for my victory
comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress
where I will never be shaken.
Psalm 62:1-2
I am bold as a lion.
The wicked run
away when no one is chasing them,
but the
godly are as bold as lions.
Proverbs 28:1
No weapon formed against me will stand.
But in that coming day
no weapon turned against you will succeed.
You will silence every voice
raised up to accuse you.
These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord;
their vindication will come from me.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
Isaiah 54:17
God will always lead me
to triumph
But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead
us along in Christ’s triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the
knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume.
2 Corinthians 2:14
I cannot be separated from
God’s love.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s
love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither our fears for today nor our
worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s
love.
Romans 8:38
I am chosen by God.
Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in
Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
Ephesians 1:4-5
I
am God’s workmanship and created for Good works.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in
Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10
I
have not been given a spirit of fear.
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear,
but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal
discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and
self-control].
2 Timothy 1:7
I
am wonderfully made
I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
and my soul knows it very well.
Psalm 139:14
I
am beautiful
And how will they preach unless they are
commissioned and sent [for that purpose]? Just as it is written and forever
remains written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of
good things!”
Romans 10:15
I
am fully known & lavishly loved by God.
I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those
who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal
relationship with Me]—
John 10:14
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you [and approved of you
as My chosen instrument],
Jeremiah 1:5 a
I
am special
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a
consecrated nation, a [special] people for God’s own
possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and
virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His
marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9
I am set apart.
for you are a holy people [set apart] to the Lord your
God; and the Lord has chosen you out of all the peoples who are on
the earth to be a people for His own possession.
Deuteronomy 14:2
But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and dealt wonderfully with] the godly man [the one of honorable character and moral courage—the one who does right].
The lord hears and responds when I call to Him.
Psalm 4:3
Who
God says I am is infinitely more important than what the world says. I am the only one who decides if what others
say has power over me.
Today
I chose to believe what God says about me.
How
about you… who will you believe?
