You Are Precious

Isaiah 43:3-5 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life.

If I asked you to write down a single sentence to describe how you see yourself, your sense of identity, your sense of worth, your place in this world, let me ask you, what would you write?

How we see ourselves, you and I, has a huge impact on the quality and the effectiveness of the lives that we lead. And this life of yours, it ain’t no dress rehearsal. It slips away minute by minute, and one day it’ll be over.

What a tragedy it would be to have missed out on all that God has to offer you, simply because you believed what the world said about you, and as a result, you lived life out through your inadequacies and insecurities, rather than believing what God says about you.

Do you believe in Jesus? If so, this is what God has to say about you:

Isaiah 43:3,4 For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life.

That was God speaking to His people at a difficult time in their history. And did you pick it? Did you hear what God says about how He sees His people?

… you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you.

That’s who you are. That’s your identity if you believe in Jesus. That’s what God thinks about you. It’s your passport through life.

So, who or what are you going to believe? The world … or God?

You are precious in His sight, and honoured and He loves you.

That’s God’s Word. Fresh … for you … today.
