In the Know, Vol. 6: Grounding Ourselves in Who God Says We Are
Happy New Year! As this time rolls around every year, it’s customary for us to make resolutions, change our routines, and try to better ourselves. I typically start a new year by setting goals. Things like building my list of books to read, engaging in weekly meal prep, or focusing on a new discipline to incorporate into my daily routine.
Most resolutions and goals are good and even worthy of our time. For most of us, they are distant memories by the time March arrives on the scene. So, this year, instead of making goals (which are often driven by who I think the world wants me to be), I’m choosing to sit in the truth of who God says I am. Care to join me?
I can’t think of a better way to kick off a new year than grounding ourselves in who God says we are. When we dig into Scripture and discover God’s plan for us was birthed out of His love for us and His desire to be in relationship with us, we begin to look at who we are differently.
Consider these truths: Psalm 139 says God knit us together in our mothers’ wombs, Galatians 4 tells us we are His children, and then in Ephesians 1, we discover that He chose us before the creation of the world. Think about that. Before God even created the world, He knew we were coming, and He chose us. He knows every little detail about us, and He loves us anyway. No resolution or goal can change that. But when we begin to view our lives through His lens, what can change is our perspective.
Whether you’re a mom or not, whether you’re married or single, we’re all looking for a way to regroup after 2020. What better way to begin than leaning into who God says we are? If you’re ready to come along with us, check out the resources below and then join us on social media (go here for our Instagram and Facebook). We’ll journal together, share prayers, and set our minds, not only on who we are on a day-to-day basis but whose we are for eternity.
I look forward to journeying with you!
