For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mothers womb.
Psalm 139:13
Wow. Sixth day of the challenge already! What are you thinking about this day? I hope this challenge is changing your perspective of yourself and of God. Let's continue.
In this day and age, education is the biggest thing that can be obtained. America's god of choice seems to be education. It's not a choice whether you want to go to school or not. It's a part of life. Most of all going to college. Every senior in high school is asked the question of what college they are going to about a million times in their last year of school. After grade school and college is done, everyone asks the question; "so...what school did you go to?"
Well, what about those who couldn't afford school? The high school drop out? The one who didn't want to go to school but now regrets it? Do we hold education in higher esteem than people? Than God? Sometimes I think so. We believe that when you are full of knowledge, that is where your worth comes from. No! And that brings us to today's identity in Christ.
Our identity in Christ in this area of our life is that to be in God's family we don't need to accumulate knowledge in order to belong. We are unique. We all notice different things, have different perspectives. God created all of our minds to work at different levels and paces. We shouldn't expect an artistic mind to come up with math questions or a scientist to write a song and sing it (maybe there's someone who can do all of those!) . The fact of the matter is, we are all unique. We need to remember that. Don't base your whole identity off of what you learn and how much you learn. Base it on who God made you to be in Him: A unique woman with a unique perspective on the world.
