2 Timothy 2:13 reads:
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.
The fact is that our faith level is going to fluctuate through the course of our life. The hope is for that faith to increase more overall than decrease as we mature in our walk with Jesus. This is merely an expectation and a hope within us as believers…not a guarantee. The example or standard, however, which we strive for never changes. This is a guarantee. Jesus promises us that he is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He cannot deny who he is, but we surely can.
Think for a minute and be completely honest with yourself. Have you ever thought you were more that you really are? Or even on the other side, believing you are much less of a person than everyone else sees in you? I would argue that at times we all find ourselves somewhere between these two ends of self-evaluation to some degree. How we view ourselves is very important, but its much more significant to know how God sees us. He cannot deny who he is, therefore he also cannot deny who we are. He created us...he formed us…he formed you!This week, may you come to know more about yourself according to who God says you are. May you also be able to accept where you are in your faith journey today, and the growth that God has planned for you tomorrow.
